Hi,

If you have a saved Passport, it will be in that dialog, under Passport.Net\* (Passport),
that's all you have to look for.

The only exception to this is if you're running Windows Messenger in compatibility mode. To
check, click Start, then Run, type "%programfiles%\Messenger" and click OK. Right click on
msmsgs, choose Properties and then click the Compatibility tab. Make sure nothing is checked
and then click OK.

As for Outlook, for Outlook 2003, click the Tools menu in Outlook, then choose Options,
choose the Other tab, uncheck "Enable the Person Names Smart Tag" and click OK.

For Outlook 2002/XP, open Outlook, click the Tools menu, then Options, then the Other tab,
and uncheck 'Enable Instant Messaging in Microsoft Outlook'.

For Outlook Express, close Outlook Express, then download and run this .reg file:
