I can't get messenger (4.7.3000) to sign in automatically. Messenger loads
when widows xp starts but won't sign in. When I right click the icon and
select sign in it brings up the sign on window and I must enter the password
every time even though I tick the box (sign me in automatically) every time.

I have messenger installed on 3 other PCs at home and they all work
perfectly but not this one.

Also if I run the wizard to associate a user with this .net passport it runs
through the wizard ok but doesn't assoicate it. (The option in user accounts
should change from 'set up my account to use a .net passport' to 'change my
.net passport')

Any help would be appreciated
