SYMPTOMS
========
 
While you are connected to the Microsoft MSN Gaming Zone, if you are using MSN,
The Microsoft Network, as your Internet service provider, you may be notified of
your e-mail message count and be prompted to log on to MSN to retrieve your
e-mail as often as once every 8 minutes.
 
This notification can make it appear that you must reconnect to the MSN Gaming
Zone. In addition, if you choose to log on to MSN and retrieve your e-mail, your
connection to MSN Gaming Zone may be disrupted.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The frequency of this notification is determined by the MSN Quick View
notification delay. You can select 8 Minutes, 15 Minutes, 60 Minutes, or Once
Per Session. If you select a short interval between notifications, your MSN
Gaming Zone session is interrupted frequently.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
To resolve this behavior, set the MSN Quick View notification delay to Once Per
Session. If you select this notification delay, you are prompted to retrieve
your e-mail only when you log on to MSN.
 
To change the MSN Quick View notification delay, follow these steps:
 
1. Click the MSN Quick View icon on the taskbar, point to MSN Options, and then
   click Customize MSN.
 
2. Click Notification Delay.
 
3. Click Once Per Session, and then click Apply.
 
STATUS
======
 
This behavior is by design.
 
MORE INFORMATION
