| Vista Home Premium x64 | Tray icon stays after exiting msn After I exit msn the icon stays in the system tray until I mouse over it. Kind of like when an app is forced to exit. Not a major problem but I'd like to know if there's a fix for it. Thanks |

| | Re: Tray icon stays after exiting msn Greetings, In some cases, Messenger might actually be crashing when it's exciting , or a third-party Messenger tool you have running might be closing Messenger oddly. In most cases it's pretty safe to ignore. In a standard environment though, the icon is removed as expected, it's not an actual known bug or anything. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "elbeasto" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:a73b2ffe5e15caa4e32ebfa3c7a209ce@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

Steven I'm just using the one that installs from the WLinstaller which I downloaded from the ninemsn site. I doubt the version I'm using would be beta? |

But "by the book" anyway, this shouldn't be discussed here, so best if this thread ends now. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "dmex" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:1b08d8cbefd5e0e72dd659c007575bb0@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

| | Re: Tray icon stays after exiting msn Mine does the same thing. Even after a fresh Vista install. Live messenger works fine, but sometimes the tray icon disappears when I exit it and sometimes (actually most) times it doesn't; until I mouse over it.
