    - MSN Messenger 7.0 Sign-In Issues With MSN Messenger Version 7.0.0813 installed on Windows XP SP2 is there any way to disable the "Your connection with the .NET Messenger service has been lost. Reconnecting in xx:xx" from occuring? Since I use a dial-up connection and log on for brief periods of time to check for e-mail, with prior versions I'm automatically signed in within seconds of connecting. Since installing 7.0.0813, the time can build to over 15 minutes before sign in occurs ... nothing 'automatic' about that feature. In options, the "Automatically run Messenger when I log on to Windows" and "Allow automatic sign in when connected to the Internet" are checked. After uninstalling 7.0.0813 and reinstalling 6.2.0205, sign in occurs instantaneously upon establishing a connection. Tag: Using browsers other than IE for checking Hotmail Tag: 74361

    - Unable to logon with Pocket PC When logging on to MSN Messenger from Audiovox PPC4100 with PocketPC Version 4.20.0 (Build 14053), we receive the following error "logon to msn messenger service failed because the service is temporarily unavailable" We can surf the internet, make phone calls, send/receive emails. Have had 4 Audiovox PPC4100's that I have been unable to logon to MSN Messenger. These phones were working until we swapped users and did a Hard Reset. We have since replaced them with new PPC4100's and still same issue. I have downloaded latest ROM image from Audiovox and MSN Messenger update. Taken SIM cards and placed them in other phones and connected fine. Taken SIM cards from users with working MSN Messenger on their phone and placed card in these 4 phones and cannot connect.

    - MSN Chat Windows Never Show I have a strange problem with MSN 7, now and then when people write a message to me, it will display initially the tooltip in the bottom right hand corner with their name and the start of the message, as if it is about to flash the window i can now select in the taskbar, but that window is never visible, so if i walk away from my PC, and return, and people have chatted to me, I have to ALT-TAB to see the chat window, with the users text they sent me!

    - Bug: Message History not saved until IM window closed. IM conversations should update the history file whenever a comment is posted in the window. Currently the information is not saved until the window is closed, meaning that if you leave up an IM window for an extended period of time your chances of losing the entire conversation history is great because a PC crash is inevitable. There is no feature that causes the information to be saved to the file. The "save" feature provided is different because it is a feature for handing the writing to a user-specified file. The only way to reliably maintain the history of a conversation is to use the manual (and cumbersome) save feature or constantly close and reopen the IM window. This piece of functionality would be far more useful than those quarter screen animations of a guy smashing a guitar. Though they are cool, I'd rather feel safe knowing the computer isn't going to throw out my conversation. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - MSN Messenger 7 File Transfer Errors I can't transfer files using MSN Messenger 7. It's been ages since I've tried it, but I know it worked previously (MSN 6, at some level). When I try to accept an invite for a file transfer, I get a javascript error saying it can't create the shared and/or download directories. I looked online and there was a suggestion to delete certain directories and try again, but that doesn't work. Anyone else know how to get around this?

    - MSN Messenger personal background help! I'm currently using MSN Messenger 7.0 and i'm having a problem about the Messenger personal background. I have recently added new custom backgrounds and in the "more" section where you get to add and change backgrounds, there is an entry for a background called "a lone walk" which i have recently added but when i click on it, as in trying to highlight/select it, my MSN Messenger hangs as though the file cannot be found. When ctrl+alt+delete is pressed, the Messenger status is "running" which means it did not stop responding. This situation occurs all the time i tried to select the custom background called "a lone walk". Since it hangs the Messenger, I could not remove it from the list. Is there a way to remove it from the list? I have tried uninstalling MSN Messenger and reinstalling but my custom profiles are all intact and nothing is changed including the bugged file in the custom background section. I have also tempered with the registryedit and deleted the MSN Messenger registries but it didn't help and it only changed my fonts back to default and several options in the main MSN Messenger options tab. I'm just curious if deleting the registry has effected the MSN Messenger program in anyway except the noticable changes listed above. Please help find a solution to remove the bugged file in my custom background list. Thank you in advance. Jenkin Tag: Using browsers other than IE for checking Hotmail Tag: 74306

    - MSN messenger cannot login Windows messenger 5 works fine and uses my Net Passport account fine. I tried MSN Messenger (from 6.2) and it will not let me log online ever even though email address and password are ok for my net password account. Other problems are there is, in my control-panel/add-remove, MSN Messenger 6.0 listed, and it does not exist, it says last accessed on 6/24/04. Yet I cannot remove the darned thing from add-remove because it can't find whatever it needs. Also when trying to install 6.2 again it says no msnmsgs.msi exist. and I have run around with that too. I've spent hours running around trying to get 7 to work. I have been without MSN Messenger for a while now. So how do I remove the listing of MSN Messenger6.0 in add-remove programs when the thing does not exist? And how do I get MSN Messenger to work again? Preferably v7. I've removed then deleted the MSN Messenger folders and have cleaned up the registration trying to get something to reset. MSN 7 when installing ends up with the previously used settings when installed. ...D. Tag: Using browsers other than IE for checking Hotmail Tag: 74301

    - Netscape 8.02 One thing which really got me PO'ed at those AoL/Netscape pukes was the widely reported attitude that breaking XML only affected the (apparently - to them - very rare) user that used an RSS newsfeed. Anyone who uses MSN Messenger's message history function is chopped liver, apparently, not even as worthy enough as newsfeed junkies to warrant mentioning. Well Netscape 8.02 looks like it fixes the XML problem and I can read my MSN IM history with it installed.

    - everyone help! Please use the link below to ask MS to "include" the option in the new MSN Messenger that allows us to play "pc to pc" for installed MS games. http://support.msn.com/contactus_emailsupport.aspx?productkey=messenger&ct=eformfree We have all enjoyed for years, the feature in messenger that allows us to play golf games and other Microsoft games through MSN Messenger, what a shame to lose that feature! Please send the link to everyone you know and ask them to request that any newer version of MSN Messenger include pc-to-pc ms game connections. Thank you!

    - Long password problem, error 81000303 Microsoft Passport ought to inform us that long passwords should not be used with MSN Messenger. However, sometimes it works. I haven't figured out why or exactly when. I had the same problems in earlier versions of MSN Messenger, both on Windows XP and 95. I tried to change to a 17 character long password, which worked just fine in HoTMaiL and Passport.com, both in Mozilla and IE. However, logging in to MSN Messenger 7.0 with that account gave the 81000303 error. I read the above posts about error 81000314, and shortened the password considerably, and now I could log in, no problem. Does anyone know what the maximum number of characters for MSN Messenger 7 log in is? -- / Frank, Sweden. Tag: Using browsers other than IE for checking Hotmail Tag: 74243

    - Free "Sprite" Pack I have been wanting this free "sprite" pack along with other free ones that come with msn messenger. My friends all have it and told me how to get it. When I am in the message window, I click on "packs" and under there I only see the bluemountain stuff that you have to buy. The sprite pack nd stuff aren't there. I try the packs thing under my msn messenger list but the pictures don't load up and when I click on one of them it just says "The content installation failed. Please try again later." I have been trying this repeatedly and I get the same results. How and I get a hold of these awesome packs? I have completely erased the MSN files and installed it again. Same results. What's wrong with my computer? Tag: Using browsers other than IE for checking Hotmail Tag: 74227

    - Is It Safe? Hi Folks, Just thought I would check with the experts here. I am running v6.2.0205 on a Dell XP Pro Laptop with a DSL connection through a Linksys wrt54g router. I am completely satisfied with this version. Keep getting update notices about a new version -v7 I suppose. I checked out this group a few months ago and listened to a lot of v7 horror stories and decided to wait. What is the situation now. Should I upgrade? Is v7 as solid as 6.2.0205? Am I missing anything? Thanks for any input.... David S> Tag: Using browsers other than IE for checking Hotmail Tag: 74215

    - Run MSN with out MSN Messenger? Ever since Messenger was "upgraded" to version 7 I have had nothing trouble from it. I have to spend time putting it right because it regularly produced a corrupt Main page. Since I do not use it very much, it has become a major irritant which I would rather not have it at all. However if I uninstall it MSN will no open. Is there a way to run MSN without MSN Messenger? -- Uncle John Tag: Using browsers other than IE for checking Hotmail Tag: 74214

My prefered internet browser is not Internet Explorer. I have selected my
prefered browser to be the default on my computer, but MSN Messenger still
opens IE when I click on the inbox button. I would like to know how to change
this.

I am currently using MSN Messenger Version 7.0, and Windows XP.

Greetings,

This is by design. Although Messenger will open your default browser for links, Hotmail and
Spaces will open in Internet Explorer due to the security features for Passport.

If you -really- must have this open in another browser, you can obtain Messenger Plus
(http://www.msgplus.net) and StuffPlug-NG (www.stuffplug.com) then once you have it all
installed, click the Plus! menu, then Plugins, then StuffPlug-NG, then Configure, check the
"Open
all links in default browser" option and click OK. However, keep in mind this is sort of a
hack and doesn't work that seamlessly.
