Windows Messenger + Outlook

[Ryan]

Hello

I just installed Office XP 2003, and have Windows Messenger 4.7. When going into Tools, then Options, then Preferences in Windows Messenger, the checkbox that says, "Run This Program When Windows Starts" isn't visible. Therefore whenever I log into Windows XP it turns on my Windows Messenger. I believe this has something to do with office because it never had this problem before and the checkbox was there before. I checked my registry and the PreventAutoRun and that was set to 1, or true.

Does anyone have any other ideas

Thanks in advance.
