I hope I posted to the right forum, I am using windows xp home sp3 and I have windows llive messenger version 2008, yahoo messenger 8.1.0.425, aim 6.8.10.1 all three have the same problem, when I type a message they get it, but when they begin to reply, the messenger signs off, I sign back on and I get their reply via offline messages, then I reply and they get it, then they begin to reply and it signs off again, I sign back on and get their reply again via offline messages, this happens repeatedly, over and over and over, what's the deal?
