    - My webcam refuses to open in a video conference (even with settings OK) Hello,when trying to have a video conversation my webcam will not open,but my contact's webcam shows no problem,then I do the Audio and Video wizard,and it shows that my webcam is available and working,but if ,in the menu,I open my Webcam Settings ,it says: "You can not change your camera settings because either,your camera is not plugged in your computer,or you are using it in a video conversation or another program" ,and every setting is greyed out. So,every time that I have a video conversation,it is a one way video (that of my contact),as soon as I try to open mine,it cuts of the video conference. I had the latest version of MSN (7.5),and I found now an older version,7.0,but still the same. I have used MSN for years with no problems. Any ideas?

    - Display name question I recently noticed that an old chat buddy's display name had changed from her name to her email address. Prior to this, she hadn't appeared online for nearly two months--very unusual for her. (And no, I don't think I was blocked, as I never initiate conversations--I leave that to her.) So I'm wondering if she may have unsubscribed/uninstalled MSN Messenger. Could that result in the change of display name in my contact list? (Btw, that is the only name in the list that did this. All the rest continue to show display names, not email addresses.) Ernie T. Tag: Slow sign in... Tag: 82091

    - Webcam locked I'm having a Creative Notebook webcam that is always locked by MSN 7.5 after first use. By locked i mean it cannot be used in any programs (including MSN itself) after first time of usage. Restarting MSN does release the lock. I have verified that that webcam works fine in other programs and that webcam driver is the latest. Also MSN 7.5 should be the latest build 322. Anyone have solution to the problem .. before I switch to Skype? ;) Tag: Slow sign in... Tag: 82087

    - Start Up Ive been expierencing a minor problem upon start up with messenger recently. Messenger automatically starts and if I have a message it does indicate that this is email. However, when I click on that indication, I get a message saying the service is unavailable and then shutdowns. A minute or two later, it signs itself back in again and tells me its available. Any indication of what is happening. I suspect zonealarm was buggering it up but Ive got messenger accessible on both internet and being used as a server.

    - Cannot Access MSN Spaces Hello, At the computer at work, I can easily access the MSN spaces of my buddies by clicking on their card. However, with the computer at home, after I've clicked on the photos or their blogs on their card, an IE windows will pop up alright, but it seems it's forever stopped at accessing g.msn.com, and it never gets rediverted to the proper page.

    - Custom Emoticons (Reference?) Hi, I've been trying to play with creating custom emoticons for MSN. Is there a reference site (either Microsoft, or 3rd party) which has the complete details/specifications for how to do this? Some things I've run into: 1) It's not clear whether the maximum size is 50x50 or 100x100 2) Sometimes the frame delay set in the animated GIF is respected, and sometimes it played much faster 3) Even though the entire emoticon size is well within the file size limit (150K), sometimes only the first two frames appear (unpredictably) 4) How to bundle together a whole bunch of emoticons with preset shortcuts, so they can be installed in one go (as opposed to the user having to set each one by themselves) Replies much appreciated.

    - MSN Messenger 7.5 problem and one possible solution Just in case this has not been discussed earlier: For a long time I had the same MSN Messenger 7.5 problem which many have described here. Followed every instruction: nothing worked, just the number if the error changed once (81000XXX... something). Finally I found the solution: my firewall blocked the connection. So what? Check your firewall settings is one of the first instructions given? But the ZoneAlarm had for some obscure reason went to hidden mode. It didnt show at all in lower right corner taskbar. So each time my programs were updated, they stopped accessing internet. So try this: go to program files, see if you have Zone Labs folder. You ay have forgot it... if so, open Zone Labs -> Zone alarm and double-click zonealarm.exe. Then try some program which has recently stopped working, like my MSN Messenger did as I updated it. Zone Alarm should now ask whether it gives the updated program an access to internet. Click yes, and if it works, you´re done. Your problem has been the same as mine: in hidden mode Zone Alarm does not ask for your permission to let a modified program to acces internet. I still haven't found the way to make Zone Alarm visible in taskbar. I have to make it visible manually each time clicking it in its folder. Olli Orkoneva Tag: Slow sign in... Tag: 82027

    - blocking and deleting contacts My question is regarding what happens when user A blocks and then deletes user B from their contact list. Obviously, the users can't communicate with each other, and user B cannot see user A's status, even after being deleted from A's list. But if user B goes into his privacy settings and views the list of people who have added him to their list, will user A be gone from the list, since user A deleted user B, or will his state as it appears to user B be totally frozen, and thus it still appear to user A that he is on user B's list? Sorry the question is confusing but I can't think of a better way to word it! lol... thanks for any info. andy Tag: Slow sign in... Tag: 82004

    - Okay, MVPs: What Within MSN Messenger Prevents the Previewing/Playing of Winks??? I previously posted the below problem back in December and Winks still don't work: Here's the story: Flash Player installed properly both through MSN Messenger and Macromedia sites. Macromedia site confirms proper installation. Test wink on MSN Messenger home page works (The Kiss) Winks DO NOT work within MSN Messenger: Cannot preview them nor play received Winks. Blue Mountain site will not allow previews either. Again, Flash Player is properly installed and I have both un and reinstalled it several times to no avail in fixing this problem and I have followed the procedure in MSN Messenger FAQs. Any other suggestions? Thanks!!! Since then, I have tried out the trial version of MSN Winks Plus and have CONFIRMED through this program that Flash is properly installed as I am able to preview/play all of the trial Winks, along with the default ones installed in MSN Messenger. Consequently, there must be some registry entry or "kill bit" within Messenger registry entries inhibiting the playing of Winks in my installation of Messenger, or some other bug preventing the playing of Flash content within Messenger. The checkbox to play winks is properly set in the options.. Request some avenues to pursue/troubleshoot this annoying problem as Flash is not the problem, nor is my Popup Blocker inhibiting the playing of Flash content. The problem MUST be somewhere within the installation or registry entries of MSN Messenger 7.5. Thank you.

    - Messages and files not transfering Hi If anyone can offer any advice I'd really appreciate it please. (I am running a pc on xp on a broadband connection (Metronet) with Norton Internet Security set up. MSN Messenger version 7.5.0311) For some time now I have realised and found out I am missing quite a lot of messages contacts are sending me, so it can be a very disjointed conversation, and is extremely frustrating for both me and the contact. My contacts send them but they just don't show up on my pc. Also file transers do not always transfer. I also find that messenger sometimes logs itself in and out quite often through the course of the day or evening, even when the status for msn messenger is showing that there are no issues. This seems to be an intermittent problem, although it's hard to judge, as you can't always tell if a contact has said anything, it's only when it throws a conversation right out, or they let you know they have said something, and it hasn't showed up in the chat window, but I am now becoming more and more aware that it is happening. I have been told by a couple of contacts I have chatted to about this that it never seems to happen with anyone else on their contact list. Could it be my pc or broadband provider? I did contact support for Metronet a while ago and they said it was an MSN issue not an ISP issue! And yes you guessed it MSN said it was an ISP issue!! This problem seems to be getting worse and is now driving me nuts! Please help!! Thanks Tag: Slow sign in... Tag: 82001

Hi,

I have recently rebuilt my machine from scratch after a hardware fail,
but now experience intermittent slow sign in to MSN messenger
(7.5.0322). It just freezes for up to a minute.

It always occurs the first time I log in, but most of the time if I
disconnect and reconnect it connects straight away!

I use no other security than the built-in windows firewall.

Has anyone else had the same problem or have any ideas of things I can
try?

Kind regards,
Christer
