Windows Forum / Windows XP / Windows Messenger / December 2003minor bug with MSN Messenger
There is bug with MSN Messenger. When I receive an email and which have checked "Display alerts when email received", I click on that notification and it jumps me right directory to my msn email account in a new window. However, while I'm in reading my email I'll try to close and exit MSN Messenger from the taskbar. Unfortunately, I receive the following error: There are other applications currently using features provided by MSN Messenger. You must close these other applications before you can exit MSN Messenger. These applications may include Outlook, Outlook Express, MSN, MSN Explorer, Internet Explorer, and Three Degrees. I'm not using these applications, and what the heck is Three Degrees? I think MSN Messenger is pulling my leg. :) Greetings Chris, You can't close Messenger while Outlook Express, MSN Explorer (that includes MSN 8/9) or Hotmail (in Internet Explorer) is open. How exactly are you reading this mail? As for threedegrees, see here: http://www.threedegrees.com/FAQs.aspx?lang=en-US More specifically: With 3[degrees] you can: Throw a personalized animation on your friends' desktops with winks. Listen to a shared play list simultaneously, created from music that you own. Easily send digital photos from last night's party to your friends. Initiate group chat with MSN Messenger. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com > There is bug with MSN Messenger.

I think MSN Messenger is pulling my leg. :) I'm reading my email through Internet Explorer, not using those other applications like Outlook, Outlook Express, and MSN Explorer. It's when I'm still log into my email account and then when I close MSN Messenger, I get that error. ___________ Chris >-----Original Message----- >Greetings Chris, [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > >. Hi Chris, Yes, a number of sites (including Hotmail) when you're using Internet Explorer actually use Messenger, so you can't close it. What you're seeing is "by design". ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com > I'm reading my email through Internet Explorer, not using > those other applications like Outlook, Outlook Express, [quoted text clipped - 58 lines] > > > >. I still think there's a bug. On my XP home edition system Windows Messenger refuses to close, even after I hang the modem off and close evey application but the desktop and Windows Messenger. > Hi Chris, > [quoted text clipped - 69 lines] > > > > > >. Hi Robert, Do you have Norton Antivirus 2003 installed? Norton added a new "instant messaging scanning" feature to Norton Antivirus 2003, which can conflict with Messenger and cause some of this behavior. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon in the System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'), click Options, then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger and click OK. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com > I still think there's a bug.
