New MSN 7, problem connecting

[well84]

Hello everyone

since I installed the new messenger 7 (previously i had 7 beta, and no
problems..) it's very difficult to login. As soon as i click connect, it
says service unavailable, and this happens both at home and at work, and
both with desktop and laptop computer. Usually after attempting to connect
several times (average 10) i can login and i dont have any problems, i
guess.

Is it a temporary problem of MSN 7 due to overload or it's just not very
compatible with my connections types?

I hope the first one!

Thank you

Angelo

Yes but the microsoft.public.msn.messenger is specifically for MSN
Messenger.

Not much of that.

Well...why don't you cut and paste the contents, visit the msn.messenger
forum, and post. Maybe an answer will be forthcoming. Once answered return
here and enlighten the group...but if you know the answer and chose not to
answer here because it was in the wrong forum, then what really is concern;
which would lead many of us to question what your real purpose is -- to
answer or comment on anything msn(this is not msn help)in an open discussion
or just redirect anyone who comes here for help to another location or is it
to brag a bit(your words below) as exclaimed in that other forum..

" I'm not saying I know more than Jonathan but compared to some people!
HAHAH! "

It also appears, in another post, that you disagree with Mssr. Kay/MVP on a
violation of the TOS for Messenger(you called it Terms of Use, TOU???) Most
of us are more inclined to believe JK's input and that his documented fix is
not hacking as you appear to see it.

Keep up the good work..we should always value contributions like yours in
any forum.

I had the same problem, the following solved it for me.


From microsoft.public.msn.messenger:

"...click the Tools menu, then Options, then
Connection category,
click the Advanced Settings button, uncheck all the options, click OK twice
and then try
again."
