RicH_87 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 might be a firewal?. I have a bullet proof one and it sometimes messes up my msn, I also get that message quite often. My msn seems to freeze whenever i sign in, it sorts it's self out eventually though and whenever i get that message i just keep trying again and again and eventually i get on.

hititfaster Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 I was getting that a lot when I still had the beta version of MSN 7, and it eventually wouldn't sign in at all. Went back to the antique windows messenger and used that for a while with no problems, and now I've downloaded the full version of 7 it's all peachy, signs in first time every time. I'd uninstall any versions of messenger that they currently have and get 7 full. Tom P.S. If they already have 7 full, do feel free to shout 'abuse' :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 See if you can get on using a different method? I mean, try using GAIM or Trillian to see what happens. If you need access more than you need a solution, I mean. It might help to know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials boy Joe Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 (edited) COULD BE A SOLOUTION It happened to me and because someone changed my password!! Enter the code it gives you in the window on the msn website and it will tell you what is wrong! If there isnt a code click help and you should be given a code on the msn website or it will tell you what is wrong.

Monkey Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Has it ever HAD Zone Alarm? I know from experience what an absolute bitch it can be to remove completely. There are ways to do it that you can find on the web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) it happens to me all the time god knows why to be honest, it was like it for well over a hour last night. Ive found the only way for me to get it working is by signing in with windows messenger (always always always signs in unless msn is down good and proper) which somehow clears up whatever was wrong, i simply then sign in with msn 7.whatever and it all works fine again. When i use the troubleshoot option it sometimes comes up with some proxies or dns or something i dont remember something about them not being clear and it'll set them to that for me. But to be honest the troubleshooter only works about 3 outta 10 times, the windows messenger does always.
