Rich J Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Whenever i try to sign in on msn it says: "sorry we were unable to sign you in to msn messenger at this time please try again later" ive been trying for the last week and its been telling me the same thing. Also when it try to sign in on hotmail it tells me that the page is unavalible. There isnt a problem with my account because i can get on it at school but not at home. If any one can help i would be greatful thanks rich Edited December 3, 2005 by dickj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanie-b Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Ok, Try downloading the very latest version of MSN MESSENGER if you don't already have it, If you do, Click troubleshoot when the dialog window comes up saying "We were unable to sign you in" Then click repair at the bottom right of the window, MESSENGER will then attempt to fix any probelms in it's server, If this doesn't work, I would go over your firewall and Internet settings very carefully and look for any incorrect settings Edited December 3, 2005 by deanie-b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich J Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Could get a new email but i think its something wrong with the settings on my computer rather than any thing to do with msn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, It's pretty common, although i don't know why, I don't understand how settings in our internet connections automatically change themselves, but meh. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am4zin Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 instead of using msn, use 'windows messenger'. there might be a problem between either you're interent connection (like i use wireless and my msn hates it) or you're firewall/anti virus settings.

Mc Lovin Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Click on the tools tab, then on options, then on the connetion's tab, then start trouble shoot. This is what worked for me :S . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 It might be worth rebooting your router/modem if you've got broadband and its happened before. Im using a crappy adsl router jobby & every week or so I get connection problems - i think its just that the software is a bit shite. Unplug the power supply on the router/modem, wait a minute or two for it to chill out and then plug it back in. If any of your machines refuse to reconnect just do a repair on the connection & that should sort it out. hope that helps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 im running dial up not broadband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 im running dial up not broadband that definitely wont help then. does it work yet? maybe your connection's just gash. it might be worth trying to plug the modem in closer to the main phone line entry point - but only if you're having general connection problems.
