    - Delete Contacts Hi, I am using the current beta version of MSN Messenger. I got hit by a couple of "spammer" type of contacts. For example, one idiot with the address of humpedjerk@hotmail.com wanted me to accept him (assuming a male) as a contact. I declined his invitation. Now his address is in my "block list". How do I get rid of or simply delete idiots like this? I have checked "Only people on my Allow List can see my status and see me messages," so I really don't need to block this idiot. But I would like to keep my "allow" and "block" lists clean and uncluttered. Unfortunately, I have three of these idiots who are cluttering up my block list. I tried right mouse clicking and trying the "delete" command, but it is already "grayed out." Does anyone know how I can remove people like humpedjerk@hotmail.com and husenaswat69@hotmail.com? I have absolutely no idea who they are and would certainly like to remove them. I temporarily allowed husen as a contact as a curiousity. I was sent a bunch of links, which I did not follow. Asshats. Any advice on how to clean up my block list would be greatly appreciated. It would be nice is MSN allowed us to pull our addresses away from those we don't like. I suspect these addresses are temporary addresses used for spamming or something. HS Tag: connecting to msn Tag: 66047

    - messenger probs! (i think) After enduring a msn pop-up that asks "a new version of messenger exists, do you want to update?" with "yes" or "no" but no option to never ask again, I finally wore down and clicked "yes"... After I restarted and clicked onto my profile my desktop appears for a few seconds then the messenger window pops up and my entire desktop (save my desktop background) goes away. I then cannot do anything. The sand timer appears every once and awhile for a moment then goes away. I try to hit ctl-alt-del but aside from the sand- timer briefly appearing, nothing else happens... HELP! I can only get on by going into my wife's profile (it is working fine)... Tag: connecting to msn Tag: 66037

    - Outlook Express and Windows vs. MSN Messenger Hi, I'm having a problem with Outlook Express 6 in Windows XP SP2. Outlook Express apparently interfaces with Windows Messenger, not MSN Messenger as in previous Windows versions, so unless I have Windows Messenger running, I don't see the online/offline status of people in my Address Book. The problem is, I prefer using MSN Messenger, but even with MSN Messenger loaded and signed in, I still can't see the online/offline status in the address book because Windows Messenger is not loaded/signed in. Is there anyway to fix this problem? I want to use MSN Messenger and see the online/offline status in Outlook Express, just as in previous Windows versions. I don't want to use Windows Messenger at all. Many thanks, Nick Tag: connecting to msn Tag: 65993

    - Some contacts not appearing online when they are Hi, I have MSN Msgr 6.2 and Windows Msgr 5.1 and have about 5 out of 15 contacts who never appear online, even though they are online. The e-mail addresses are definitely correct, they are not blocked and have not blocked me, and I have tried deleting then adding them again. Is there anything that might cause this? I had 7 beta installed briefly, but am not sure if it was before or after this problem started. -- Thanks. CJSnet (Remove TEETH to reply by e-mail.) Tag: connecting to msn Tag: 65992

The situation is we have broadband, a server and the interent is networked around the house to 4 other computers, via a switchboard. The computers are almost always on. Would appreciate any response.

First I got a message that says my username or password is not recognize or incorrect. After this message I tried downloading the msn beta, see if it would solved the problem.

    - webcam capture hello I am making a program that intercepts and saves the video data sent from a normal webcam conversation (both parties know there is a webcam being shown). I've been able to identify and record the video packets, but I don't know what video encoding/compression it uses. so I can't playback. Does anybode know what video compression is used? I know it has something to do with Logitech IM Video companion. I would then look for either a program that can play it back or decode it, or a program that does webcam conversation in the same protocol and make a fake webcam user that just replays the data the has already been saved. help... please...

    - Help! How to remove MSN Messenger alerts.... Can anyone tell me how to safely stop the MSN Messenger alerts from popping up? Every time I sign on, a box pops up informing me that "a newer version of Messenger is available" asking me if I want to update and I always have to click on the "No" to make it disappear. It is very annoying because I never uses Messenger. Last week, I tried to stop the alert box from popping up by going ahead and downloading the new version (that I would never use) and the result was that I was unable to sign it to MSN - getting an error message that I downloaded a version of Messenger "no designated for this computer" (?) Receiving no help from 6 different Dell tech support staff (whose textbook answers were "uninstall/reinstall windows and MSN"), I created a restore point from 2 days ago...and now I'm back to square one. I'm perplexed. Anyone creative computer techs know how to resolve my problem without my having to tamper with the Registry?? I am a total novice. Thank you. Tag: connecting to msn Tag: 65942

    - MSN Messenger 5.0 still downloadable - why? Hello from Finland! I noticed when i "travelled around" on Microsoft download pages that MSN Messenger 5.0 for Win95 is till downloadable at microsoft although all the users are forced to update their Messengers to the newest one. Is this a misstake or is Microsoft going to plan to let MSN Messenger 5.0 users go on with the use of that version in the future after most of the users have updated their Messengers to the newest one? Still waiting for a security update for the accessible mSN messenger 5.0 or a permission to use it. ---J--- Tag: connecting to msn Tag: 65936
