MSN Messenger - You have Signed in/out at Another Location

If you have recently moved from Windows Messenger to MSN Messenger, then you may be receiving odd prompts about being signed out because you signed in at another location. Not to be confused with the ability in the latest versions of MSN Messenger to be signed in to two different locations.

This message is caused by Windows Messenger signing in to the service in the background.
If you no longer want to use Windows Messenger, then you need to disable these features.

1. Start Windows Messenger, but you don't have to sign in.
   If you have deleted the icon, start it from the executable
   C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
   (If you cannot find it there, search your system for msmsgs.exe)
2. Click Tools, Options to open the options window.
3. Click on the "Preferences" tab.
4. Deselect "Run Windows Messenger when Windows Starts" and "Allow Windows Messenger to run in the background".
5. Press OK to close the options window.

If you have Outlook XP or higher installed on your machine, then you should also disable the Messenger integration. A similar technique should be used for Outlook Express as well.

1. Start Outlook.
2. Click Tools, Options.
3. Click on the "Other" tab and deselect the option as required.
