I am using Messenger 4.7 in XP sp2 but it usually fails to start when
windows starts.

The Icon briefly starts to flash as if connecting and then drops back to the
not connected icon.

I have set messenger to log in automatically but this hasn't helped.

I'm not sure if this is related to Norton Internet Security as this icon
appears is the task tray shortly after Messenger fails to connect.

I am able to connect manualy without problems.

Any idea's what is going on and how I can get messenger to log in
automatically at start up ?

Thanks
