No, it's simply a 'user' who I added to my Messenger. Ignore that, it
happens equally with other users. Also it used to work fine for that user
as well as others.

I can't put my finger on when this started but 2 major things have changed:
1. I installed (then removed) MSN Messenger 7 beta
2. I purchased and installed the Xbox MCX

Any ideas what that unauthorized window error means and how it can be told
to calm down a bit?

Thanks.
