Vista Messenger Workaround

Here's my lame workaround.. you must have nimble fingers!

Start messenger.
Change status to appear in offline mode.
Maximise window.
Click sign on
*quickly* push ALT-T follwed by O
*quickly* go to General and untick Show Windows Live Today After I Sign In
To Messenger
*Very Quickly* Push OK!

If you couldn't hit OK in time at least make sure you uncheck Show Windows
Live Today.. it will be unchecked next time you go thru these steps.

I guess it's a flash error as I've had some problems with Flash in Vista so
far. No doubt a fix will be around the corner.

This should be fixed with Messenger 8.1 Final. Let's us know if you.
