I'm running Windows Vista and lately I've been running into this error. After my computer goes into sleep mode it disconnects all my messengers that's logged in. Both yahoo and MSN. I don't know if its my firewall, the programs, or a setting somewhere in the computer.
Firewall: PC Tools Plus-free version 2
Antivirus: Avast free
MSN version: 8.1
Vista Home Premuim.
Thank you.
