Greetings Vikki,

Yes, Norton is what's doing this. Recent versions of Norton Antivirus added a new "instant
messaging scanning" feature, which can conflict with Messenger and cause it to also keep
starting. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon in the
System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'), click Options,
then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger and click OK.

I am also having this problem. Messenger is trying to
automatically sign in to a passport which doesnt work
anymore. Ive tried to remove it or stop it automatically
signing in but nothing seems to have worked.

Greetings Lee,

To fix this, click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts
in the Control Panel. Select the Windows XP account name you're currently logged under, and
then on the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network
Passwords'. In the window that opens, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click
'Remove'.
