doesn't change to status "away" during inactivity

Hello

I'm using the newest version of live messenger (8.1) but I a little
problem. the messenger doesn't change to status "away" during inactivity
- I tried 2min. and 1min. Strange is, that Skype does!? Do they have
diffrent functions to determine inactivity?
Does anyobdy know this messenger problem? And could solve that?

Thanks!

Greetings Daniel,

Yes, they probably operate differently (although there is a Windows API call to determine
this).

The Messenger implementation of this is known to not work in very instances. Unfortunately
figuring out which can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. I myself on my own PC
can't even make it work amusingly enough.

Thanks Jonathan

Maybe this hint could help: My activated screensaver also doesn't appear
after the given time...

Hi,

I'm afraid I really don't have any suggestions regardless. Sorry.
