Vista - Re: Windows Live Messenger will not auto signin

Since installing IE8 (XP pro, sp3), and windows updates, Windows Live
Messenger ( version 2009, build 14.0.8064.206), will no longer
automatically
sign in. The ONLY change in the system, was installing
IE8, (from IE7) and the Windows Live Messenger stopped signing on
automatically.
With every boot or restart, I MUST supply my email and password to
sign into Windows Live Messenger.
Checking:
Remember Me, Remember my Password, and Sign me in Automatically, is not
functional.
Solution??

Greetings,

Please try my tool which deals with this:

Jonathan,
Thanks for the link an for the tool to fix my problem - It DID fix the
problem.
Whatever you did in the fix, should be integrated with IE8 installations
(i.e. Microsoft, since it appears they screwed it up).
Thanks Again,

It works man...
thank you

Your fix is not working for me. Windows Live Messenger retains my email
address as well as my password, but I must manually sign in. The correct box
is checked in Options (Allow automatic sign in when connected to the
Internet).

XP Home (SP3). All updates. NO Yahoo, Google or anything else toolbar.
Any ideas, please?

I installed Yahoo messenger recently, but hated it! so uninstalled it and
that's when I had this problem even though I never installed the toolbar.
Your fix worked great!
Thank you
