Status problem when logging in

Hello everyone!

Today I updated my Windows Messenger from version 4.7 to version 5.1
(Finnish release).

Now I have started Windows Messenger and logged in automatically
several times and found out that something is not as it was in the
earlier version. Is this a bug, a feature or something that I do not
know how to do correctly?

Sometimes when I log in, my status that is shown to the other users is
"Busy" or what that is in English. I have not checked the box that
tells Windows Messenger to put me "Busy" when having applications on
full screen.

This will not occur every time I start Windows Messenger and log in (I
turn off the whole application every time I log out.)

What schould I do to prevent Messenger to put me on other status than
normally online when logging in?

That is a new feature of MSN.

To fix what you want open MSN and don't sign in.
In the MSN program you'll find an option that says "Always start
session as..", there you choose what you want, being it Online, Busy,
Be Right Back, etc.

Hi,

You're thinking of MSN Messenger, the OP is talking about Windows Messenger 5.1.
