MSN keeps re starting

[loharris]

Every so often, msn and skype will stop. My network connection is not disconnected. When I looked at the application log I get msnmsenger 2588
Windows Operating System
ID: 102
Source: ESENT
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: START_INSTANCE_ID
Message: %1 (%2) %3The database engine started a new instance (%4).
Explanation
There is only one Jet database engine, ESE.dll, per server. However, there can be one instance of Jet running per storage group. Event 102 signifies that an instance of Jet has started and indicates which instance has started.
Any guesses?

A rough guess only, would be that Messenger and Skype are trying to use the same file at the same time and XP doesn't like it.

Is it an Error in the log or just a warning message?

Do you have the latest versions of both programs?

In the event log, it is listed as "Information". I also found that I was using Windows Live Messenger instead of MSN, so I have re-installed MSN and I am awaiting results.

See how it goes. With XP's Windows Messenger, then Live Messenger, and now MSN Messenger (which was replaced by Live Messenger in any case), you have a few Messengers to play with.
