Downloaded SP2 - Works great except for Windows Messenger Bug
I downloaded and installed SP2 yesterday. It seems to be working fine and the popup blocker is sweet. Although I have one small problem that I was hoping someone knows the answer to. I use Windows Messenger primarily to alert me when I get new email to my Hotmail account. Whenever I get new mail, the little alert "pops" up from the systray icon of WM. However, now that I have installed SP2, the systray icon is now linked to Outlook. I was wondering how do I revert back to the old setting of Hotmail Notifications. I looked at the options menu for WM, but I couldnt seem to find anything that would get me back these alerts. Anyone have a clue as to what I should do? Thanks.

Neither alerter or messenger service are related to Windows messenger.
If you are using the SP2 firewall, check out putting windows messenger in its exceptions (I don'[t have cwindows messenger installed, but as you do it should be listed there, or use add program.
