OE v6
MSN Messenger v6
Win98SE

If I don't have MSN Messenger on my tray icon I get an error going into OE that says:

This message comes up every single time I go into OE.

But if I have MSN Messenger in my tray icon (not even running, just there) then I don't get the message every time I go into OE. I have tried removing MSN and then reinstalling it.

Any ideas of what this may be. I figured it may be that MSN Messenger is the default messenger so it tries to start. I looked in MSN Messenger for any settings to take off to be default messenger but can not find any.

I don't want to keep MSN Messenger in my tray because I hardly ever use it but do have a friend on it and don't want to get rid of it.

Some suggestions would be appreciated.
