OZ Messenger Keeps Starting Up

alpha_omega · #1 (**permalink**) 01-16-2008, 10:04 PM

Did a search but didn't find anything.... I have the OZ Messenger and it keeps starting up without me going to it. Is there a way to stop it from alway showing up in my task manager without me actually going to it?

Go into the global settings and uncheck the auto start option.

That is unchecked. Sorry I guess I forgot to put that into my post. Any other solutions? Or anyone else having this issue?

Are you going into the settings from the settings icon or from the main page menu key? Make sure you are accessing the global settings and saving after you make a change. Also, check your start folder to see if OZ is go there.

Not in startup folder, and yes global settings are turned to no start automatically and saved. Not sure if this will help but sometimes when I am on the phone with a call when I'm done with the call the OZ Messenger will be up giving me an error about it cannot connect even though I never turned it on.

try reinstalling the updated version. it sounds like the registry settings might have gotten screwed up.

Do you know where I can find the cab for it? Did some searching and can't fine the install cab.
Tried the OZ site no luck along with other forums. Hopefully that solves my problem

Just check it and tell it to start each time... save it... reset...
Go back in and uncheck it, to reset the reg key... reset... bet that will work...
