Any users using win9x/winME can confirm this? I have the Messenger set to show me as idle when I’m away for 5 minutes — but I find that the Messenger puts me as idle in 5 minutes … whether I’ve been using the computer or not. I can be using the mouse/keyboard — check the messenger window — and see that I have been set to idle.

Mine does the same thing. If I’m busy working (on the pc) and don’t pay attention to Messenger, when I do open it up to see who’s online it will show me as Idle if it’s more than my set time.
