MSN Messenger 4.7, "On-line" users appear "Off-line"

This problem has been occurring with all users intermittently during the last few weeks. Occasionally, the display will state "Away" when the user actually is currently available (or
"on-line") and presently using the CPU. These users are not intentionally setting the �away� or �off-line� status to appear after a short period of time, which is an option in IM. The MSN IM application itself seems to be having an �out of synch� problem.

Although you can refresh the other person's display (that is have your user name appear with the correct status) via
signing off/signing on, we really need to know what causes this problem to occur and how can it be permanently fixed. What could we check (settings and/or processes) on our server?

If you know some possible causes and any other fixes it would be greatly appreciated.:rolleyes:

MSN Messenger 4.7 is hideously out-of-date and 100% deprecated--I'm surprised that it even worked for you as late as it did. The current version is 6.1. Get it.
