It is starting when the computer starts. I am sure, because I rebooted the computer and went to go read a book, and then a few minutes later, someone tried to im me and succeeded. When I look in the list of running applications, it doesn't show up as running and it also doesn't appear in the system tray with my Norton and SETI programs that are always running. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Toews [mailto:coke_drinker@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 9:31 AM To: JFW list (E-mail) Subject: Re: windows messenger and JFW 4.51 Is it starting when your computer starts, are you sure, or is it starting when Outlook starts? Regardless, if it's running, you'll see it in your sys tray.
