Anyone else having trouble with MSN lately?

Thought I was onto a winner. Followed penelope's onfo and got signed in :T ....then it froze :mad:


I'm thinking get 7.5 back, do the info thing again, if it don't work, throw pc out the window :rotfl:

I would, uninstall that version, restart PC, wait a few moments then install another Version I would try 8 http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/?locale=en-gb as what ever error you get version wise shouldnt really matter.

Then restart PC after install, then give a whirl.

Right, I uninstalled version 7, re-started pc, installed ver 8 and re-started. It signed me in then froze up. Done the start/run thingy but still froze up after signing me in. I'm really frustrated now....

Ok 2 things, Have you signed in somewhere else and left MSN logged on.

Can you sing in with Windows Messenger or is that running by any chance.


From Internet Explorer, Tools, Windows Messenger.

No not signed on anywhere else at all. It signs me in and displays my friends etc but then freezes up.

So near and yet so far.....

I agree, the window is very tempting.

Thanks ever so much for all your time and help tonight. I appreciate it.
Think I'll hit the hay too and send MSN a message, somehow, tomorrow.

Ok just to clarify before my next post.

What version are you now running, Have you a firewall besides a Windows Firewall, i.e Do you have Norton of any other software that has a Firewall Bundled, are you using XP is it upto date?

Please answer all questions :beer:

Now running ver 8 of MSN. Only got windows firewall. Yes I'm using XP and I believe its up to date (think it does this automatically)

Try disabling Windows Messenger a mo,


Start, Control Panel, add/remove programs, then click on add/remove Windows Components and in their untick Windows Messenger then click OK, or if already unticked put a tick in their.
