Microsoft Messenger

[Guest]

When I log into Microsoft Messenger I receive the folowing message:
Signing into communications service failed because the service is
temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. At the top of the Windows
Messenger Screen is a blue i (Information symbol) that states You are not
signed in to all services. When I select options and Accounts the .NET
passport is selected and the Communications Service Account: My contacts
include users of a communications service is selected. I am running DSL
through Verizon with a Westell modem and no router and I am using MSN Premium.

Have been trying to run remote access, but it always times out.

I have been trying for 2 days and still receive the same message.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Wayne.....

Greetings Wayne,

In the Accounts tab, uncheck the "Communications Service" option, then sign in again.

Thanks Jonathon,
I changed it. When my friend returns, then I will try it.
