Windows Live Messenger won't stay logged in?
12-Feb-07

As of today, with no configuration or other changes to my PC, Windows Live
Messenger (8.1) just won't stay signed it. It signs in just fine, shows me
my contacts and then, about 5-10 seconds later, it signs me straight out and
back to the logon screen. If I'm really quick with my mouse, I can get an IM
window up and start to compose a message before I am dumped!

I have tried downloading and reinstalling it, but it does exactly the same.
I think I have identified that this PC is also not at fault, as it does it
on another PC too - fresh install. Is there a problem we should know about?
My other services with this Hotmail.com account seem unaffected, and I can
log in fine with these credential on yet another PC using a (much) older
version of MSN Messenger.
