I seem to be having a bit of a problem with messenger. What I go on the net it connects even if it not in the taskbar. What I try to exit it it tells me that some other application is using it. I know it's not outlook express. It must be internet explorer. Can someone help me fix it? Please?
 
Sorry I forgot to add this. But when I disconnect ond close down internet exporer I still get the same message
 
I had that problem
I was running Norton Antivirus 2003 and in its settings it is default to scan MSN ... if you uncheck that option it will let you close it without an error

Are you running NAV 2003 (or Norton SystemWorks 2003)?
 
There's your answer. Renzoukuken said it correctly. The new NAV 2003 includes instant messenger scanning (extended virus protection).
 
You may have to check and uncheck the box to stop norton from hanging on to it. I had to do it twice on my machine.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
