I got a popup from MSN saying the messanger servers were going down for maintinence. Was about 11am CST. Still not up for me. 3pm CST.

Retract the statement of them not up at 3pm CST. Just got connected 3:01pm CST B|

Actually you are referring to windows messenger, not at all the same thing, although M$ makes that very confusing.

There are a few options.
The primary one is to go into the options in Outlook, choose other, and turn off the instant messaging in Outlook. This will prevent Outlook from starting it. However, unless you are in corporate environment and need windows messenger, I would also recommend option two:

Turn off the service.

Consider using another client like Trillian or G-AIM. I find them much easier and less ad-ridden than the 'official' messenger.



I used to use Trillian on my old computer, but I totally forgot about it when I got my new one. I use MSN, Yahoo and AIM so Trillian works really good for me. Thanks for reminding me of that. :)

Yepper :)

Since my friends cannot all act together, I run ICQ, MSN, AIM, and Yahoo. Personally, I still like ICQ best, but "wow, the pretty emoticons" made everyone switch. ICQ is still the only service that will reliably deliver offline messages.
