MSN messenger not responding

[Guest]

Hi
Can anyone help plsssss?? 2 days ago i had no problems with msn
messenger,then for some reason it stopped responding.I can't sign in.All That
happens is i click sign in and it acts like i haven't clicked it.I did a
system restore and it went back to normal.But again it stopped responding
after 24 hrs(approx).I even uninstalled it and reinstalled .But none are
responding.I installed msn messenger beta v 7.0,and uninstalled it.I Then
installed msn messenger 6.2 and same thing is happening.
Any advice?

Check with a MSN Messenger group/forum. Good luck!

Kelly,
It would be nice if you would get a little background on the problem before
sending us on a wild goose chase. Your site, while very comprehensive,
offers no help whatsoever for the current issue with Messenger. And I cannot
find a Messenger Group Forum. I'm sure there is one but I don't know where.
I would guess that many are having trouble with Messenger right now. I've
heard there's a "boatload" of security updates coming down today. If that is
so maybe this is part of it - I don't know.
The problem I'm experiencing is similar to Luv's. I can log in to Hotmail
with my login. I can log on to the MSN's Game Zone. I can log on to MSN
homepage but I can't log on to Messenger. I can log in here with no problem.
I have auto sign in set up on Messenger and it just keeps that little man
waving his flag. Then if I try to go to Hotmail immediately after it tells
me I'm locked out because I had too many attempts with the wrong password.
In fact I had no attempts at all.
Like Luv I'm running the Beta version. I uninstalled and installed 6.2
again. Same results. Different computers - same issue. Auto login or manual
login - same issue. Windows Messenger - same issue.
Messenger is just plain flaky right now.
Any idea why?

Well the "boatload" of security updates do not fix Messenger's problem.
So much for that idea.

Ok never mind. For all those who may be having trouble this is what I
found.

So I guess thank you for suggesting forums - there really is one or two for
Messenger.
