MSN 7.5 no good
What is happening with MSN ?
I have serveral friends who have reinstalled Ver.7.0 because they dit not
sucess connecting with 7.5. The guys we are talking about are all working
with software support, and have tried all the tips given in this newsgroup.
My own 7.5 is working, but often i need 3-4 attempts to connect. Reading in
this Newsgroup tells me that they are not the only ones.
Microsoft ! Do something about if !.

Lars.

100 GMail invitations to go!!!!! NOW
Hello Everyone
My offer for a GMail invitation will be on a first come, first served
basis. Just email me and I will send your invitation through the
automated process at Google. I DO NOT SPAM. When I do send you the
invitation, be sure, especially if you are using hotmail, to check
your junk mail folder. In Microsoft's infinite wisdom and jealousy
towards their competitor, their system will consider the security
verification code in the subject line of the invitation to be spam.
If there happens to be a person who is using a Yahoo account and would
like an invitation, Yahoo is less likely to filter out the invitation
however, check your bulk folder just in case. PLEASE REMEMBER, IF
USING HOTMAIL WITH YOUR JUNK MAIL FILTER SET TO EXCLUSIVE, ONLY
ALLOWING PEOPLE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST TO GET THROUGH, YOU WILL NOT SEE
THE GMAIL INVITATION. DON'T COME CRYING TO ME IF THAT HAPPENS. To
the wonderful spammers out there, don't bother spamming me as it will
only help teach the GMail spam filters how to be more effective in
filtering crap out. They are already very good at what they do.
I will show my email address 3 times in this message for those people
who are viewing this in the Google Groups beta edition which
automatically obscures email addresses. Hopefully I can get past that
so everyone can see my email address to send their requrest. Tag: credentials Tag: 77039

I have windows xp pro sp2, and msn messenger 7.5. It will sign in on its own

My sons MSN crashes consistently (always) within 15 - 20 seconds of log in.

System is using Window 2K Prof. He accesses internet through a ADSL

upgrade from 6.2 to 7.5, using video forces re-boot
Greetings, just upgraded to 7.5 from 6.2 (I think it was 6.2, definitely
6.x), and using video conference causes the remote end to hang, forcing a
hard reset. OS version is XP SP2, not known if all updates are applied but I
don't think they are. My end is fine. We had been using 6.2 for 5 or 6
months with reasonable success. Audio only worked fine, as soon as video is
added it can take upto 5 minutes (but has happened at different intervals)
before the remote end hangs.
The remote end is in Europe, connection is 128Kb up and 256Kb down, no
router. My end is in Can 800Kb up and 3000Kb down (on a good day), Dlink
wireless router.
The person at the other end is not really that computer savy but is able to
get by. I guess my question(s) are any guess as to what to check? Are
there updates that are required for this to work? This will have to be done
via remote assistance, email, or phone.
I have checked the web site for his web cam and have downloaded a
"potential" driver update that I will send him. Camera is a SWEEX 300K.
Thanks for any response. Tag: credentials Tag: 77022

how do i get rid of this nuisance?
Please help!
How do i get rid of all traces of windows messenger and msn messenger? What
an annoying program! It logs on without my knowledge or permission! It
doesn't even give me an indication in the system tray. I think I am offline,
but people see me logged in and can contact me. I try to close it, and it
has the nerve to tell me I need it for other things, like email and
browsing. Who are they trying to fool? I don't need to chat in order to read
email or browse the web!

Security Problems With File Transfers (v7.0)
I started receiving file transfers from friends, but when I attempted to open
them from the window, Windows automatically deleted them for security
reasons. I've found that I have to go the long route by opening up the folder
I save the files to and changing the filename.
This is quite irksome and has resulted in the loss of a few files that took
quite a while to download. Is there any way at all to keep this from
happening? Tag: credentials Tag: 77002
MSN Messenger 7.5
Recently added a new 80G hard drive and loaded XP Professional SP2. Now
Messenger takes consistently 120 seconds from the time the icon appears in
the tray to the time it signs in. Another computer with messenger 7.5 on the
home LAN continues to work fine. Also I find access to the MSN.ca home page
and hotmail sometimes very slow. I am using Rogers Cable Extreme 5000/800.
Anyone else experienced this? it's really trying my patience. Have
uninstalled Norton Antivirus 2005 to see if that was the problem, but
something is happening for 2 minutes that is holding up signing on.

Messenger 7.0 - WebCam Issue
Two persons, both running MSN Messenger 7.0
I have a webcam. I have used it successfully before with another person. My contact does not have a webcam.
I have set it up using the menu [tools > webcam settings] where I get a window with a live picture in good condition.
I then open a chat window with the other user. I click on WebCam > send my webcam no audio as the other person does not have a
webcam.
The other person doesn't ever receive an invite, so they cannot accept.
Then, if they choose to select [actions > audio/video > more > view my contact's webcam no audio]
Then I receive an invitation, and I accept it. Then my contact tells me they get a "webcam loading" message and it times out
Can anyone help to diagnose this issue? As I said I have used this successfully with other people, same set up.
Thanks so much

Connection problem, but not like the others!
Hi all!
Having suffered big time since v7.1 or something, I now surrender and call
for help! ;)
My problem is this:
MSN Connects - No problem. I can see that the MSN Icon in the task bar
changes from Offline (with the red cross on it) into Online mode. The MSN
Window itself says "Connecting..." or "Reconnecting...", but nothing happens!
I can see on my girlfriend's laptop that I'm actually signing in, but my
contacts never load. The MSN Window itself is stuck. If I try to force MSN
Messenger to shut down, I might as well just reset my computer, because then
everything will crash. No programs will open etc. etc.
This is not the only thing that happens: MSN Messenger disconnects my
wireless Internet connecting while trying to connect! It simply turns it off
until it eventually reconnects, but MSN still won't load my contacts!
I can manually fix this problem by "Repairing" my Wireless connection
between 8-25 times before I'm actually able to sign in and load the contacts
properly!
I'm now running version 7.5 hoping that it might have solved the problem,
but no go! Using the repair feature in MSN Messenger does not change a thing
either.
I don't have any firewalls (other than the Windows firewall in XP SP2).
Does anyone know what might cause this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Tag: credentials Tag: 76980
How can I stop the MSN Messenger pop ups for the latest releases

My problem is that I tried the new MSN Desktop Search/MSN Search Toolbar and

Messenger automatically closing
I have XP SP2, and I'm trying to install messenger on this, my desktop. I
have it on my laptop (also XP SP2) so I'm pretty familiar with how it
*should* work, but after I've installed it on this comp, it starts to run
for--oh, 5, 10 seconds, then automatically closes itself. When I go to open
MSN again, it says that it can't find msnmsgr.exe, and when I open up the
Messenger folder, the .exe file is gone. It's as though it has deleted
itself. The kicker is, my brother has MSN under his windows user account on
this same computer, and it works fine for him. And yes, I do have full admin
privileges on the computer. Has anybody else had a similar problem? Or any
suggestions? I've been trying to get MSN on here since like 6.0 came out,
and it's done this since I first tried putting it on. . . weird. Tag: credentials Tag: 76961

Display Picture Question
Hi there,
I have a question about when people's display pictures appear next to

Do they only appear when a conversation window is opened between the

Sometimes someone on my list stays as the green person icon for ages
then the icon changes to their picture. Does this mean they have opened
up a conversation window to me? Even if they don't send a message?

MSN Messenger won't sign in
I have the same problem as Katie in the "Is MSN down" thread. This has been
going on for weeks, ever since I updated to Messenger 7.5. I have found that
the only way I can sign into MSN Messenger is if I go into Add/Remove
programs, remove MSN Messenger, and then download it again from the MSN
website. Unfortunately, it doesn't completely fix the problem...I can only
sign in until the next time I restart my computer. I have gone through all
the fixes suggested to Katie, I have checked my firewall settings and they
are allowing msnmsngr.exe. I have used the Troubleshooter which hasn't
helped, I've followed all the suggestions on the MSN help page. Nothing
seems to fix the problem. Does anyone have any other ideas?
