NetMeeting Starts When You Start Windows (183608)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft NetMeeting 2.1 for Windows 95
  • Microsoft NetMeeting 2.1 for Windows NT 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows 98
This article was previously published under Q183608

SYMPTOMS

When you start Windows, NetMeeting may start and run in a minimized window. When this occurs, you cannot see NetMeeting, but you can see the NetMeeting button on the taskbar.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur when you enable the "Run when Windows starts and notify me of incoming calls" setting. This setting applies to each computer, not to each user of the computer.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, clear the "Run when Windows starts and notify me of incoming calls" setting in NetMeeting. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. On the General tab, click to clear the "Run when Windows starts and notify me of incoming calls" check box.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
