    - Problem audio function Dear Windowers, I have a problem with the audio (speech/talk chat) function of MSN Messenger version 6.2. With some friends I can use the audio function and with some others not. With those non working connections MSN Messenger shows the following message "The audio conversation with DWY has ended", without ever having established a connection. The persons with whom the connection were AND were not succes also used version 6.2. Does anyone knows what the problem is and what a solution can be? Please let me know. Best regards, Wing Tag: can't open msn messenger Tag: 59774

    - Has ANYONE EVER Had a Audio Chat with Messenger 6.2??? If so, I find it VERY hard to believe.... I've tried multiple Windows XP SP2 computers and multiple configurations - from behind uPnP routers, without routers, with software firewalls on and off - and NEVER ONCE have I or the people I have tried to chat with heard a peep. Yet, never a problem with Yahoo Messenger or Skype. (Skype will go through anything...) Just disgusted at how much time I've wasted on this.... In addition, the webcam stuff seems to work, but the more important video conferencing doesn't. Sheesh..... Tag: can't open msn messenger Tag: 59732

    - Hotmail and MSN Messenger problems I know I'm properly connected to the internet and there aren't any problems there however everytime I try to log in to my hotmail account an error page shows up saying this page cannot be displayed. No matter how many times I try to log in the error page always comes up. As for my messenger, it says that I am currently NOT connected to the .NET Messenging service. I am not the only one who is suffering from this by the way, and I hope that you can help me and others out. I really want to know how can I connect to my messenger and hotmail account again.

    - Error with MSN Messenger PLZ Help !! I tryed installing a beta version of MSN Messenger 7.0 but it did not work, whenever I signed in it would automatically close. So I restarted my computer to see if it would help and it didn't. I went to Add/Remove Programs and removed MSN Messenger 7.0 and tried to use MSN Messenger 6.2. I was now given a message saying "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem". So I uninstalled it and tryed to reinstall it but halfway through the installation it told me I was missing a file called "MsnMsg.Msi" which I can find nowhere. I have tryed everything and it still isn't working and it is irritating the hell out of me, Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Tag: can't open msn messenger Tag: 59696

    - Passport Verification emails not appearing We have just completed converting all our users to using our new email address. This involved switching their msn messenger accounts over as well. 90% of these are fine but several people I never get the email verification email for. I keep requesting it and it never appears. I have cleared the address with our ISP to avoid their spam blocker. I have checked everyone of the accounts to make sure the correct email address was used which it is. And I have verified that all the email accounts themselves are working. Out of our 60 users it's about 15 or so that can't get verification emails - not too many but enough to make indivdually emailing support a pain if there is another solution.

    - problem with Msn Since this morning (Monday, November 8 in Singapore Time), I'd trouble connecting to my MSN messenger. I am definately sure the password is correct. The problem is, they will be on the "connecting animation" before going back to the "sign in" page without any explanation on why I cannot sign in. Usually, when I have difficulties signing in, MSN provides some sort of information suggesting why the reason that might be preventing me from signing in, but not this time. Making matters worse, I resorted to using my sister's username and password on the same computer and it signed in perfectly well. I have restarted my computer and tried the solutions you provided on your "help" site but ultimately to no avail. I hope you can get back to me as soon as possible with a possible reason for this and also with a helpful solution. Thank you. P.S. I do not have a firewall, but i am just filling up the 'firewall' section of this enquiry since it is a compulsary field. Tag: can't open msn messenger Tag: 59625

    - Can't login MSN and Hotmail Homepage Hi everyone. I need some help over here. A few days ago, I realised that I can't login MSN messenger AND the Hotmail homepage can be displayed on my PC. There was no problem with surfing and downloading from other sites though. Then, I found out that I can access my hotmail account and MSN in the cybercafe. So, I wish someone can tell me what I am facing to? Virus or something? There are only two changes I have done to my PC recently. 1. Under internet options > Security > custom level > 'Enable' downloard signed ActiveX controls. 2. Update Window Media Player to Version 10.0. (Well, Spybot killed some files from it for me. I don't think it does any harm to the accessibility of MSN though. It was done after the problem had occured, anyway. ) I tried the solution with clearing all the temp internet files and run 'regsvr32 softpub.dll' again. Yet, it still doesn't work. Any help or suggestion will be very much appreciated. Thanks! From, Dailou KL, Malaysia Tag: can't open msn messenger Tag: 59619

Greetings Jay,

Are you automatically signing in when you start Messenger? If so, click Start, then Run,
then type:
%appdata%\microsoft
and click OK.

Right-click the MSN Messenger folder and choose Delete. After all this, restart Messenger
and see if the problem has been corrected.
