I chose to be automatically signed in to IM but I still have to sign in, why?

When I launch messenger I should be signed in automatically but I still am prompted to sign in. I cannot fix this even after uninstalling and reinstalling five times. I also need to change the sounds and don't know how. I also have trouble when I click on the envelope icon to check mail, it won't work! Someone please help!

    The signing in problem could be because u have a wireless network that takes a while to connect to the internet. Thus, messenger gives up.

    This is what happens to me anyway.

    To disable Messenger mechanically signing in: Right click on Messenger icon on taskbar (bar on the backside of display) and signal Messenger off. On first logging display difference choices. To disable Messenger opening up mechanically with Windows: Preferences >> General
