i want messenger to load on startup but it refuses to. I have checked load on startup in the options, tried downloading it again from microsoft and reinstalling it, tried uninstalling it from add/remove components and reinstalling it that way, tried multiple msconfig settings. i checked running programs and msmsgs is loaded but is not in the tray, when i start it at that point from the start menu it loads and connects to my buddy list.
i also tried putting messengers shortcut in the startup folder and it also didnt force it to load like normal. and i also checked in the 'set program accesses and defaults' to see if it was set to be used in there and it is.

thanks for any suggestions, but i do realize a format would fix whatever the problem is.
