    - to Jonathan from Holland Jonathan, I always read you answers here when having troubles with messenger. Often this makes things clearer to me. Now, there is a problem in a Dutch messenger newsgroup in which it is said that the problems with "no audio" with webcams are solved (even behind NAT and with ALL routers, including non UPnP routers) IF both parties use MSN7. Is this correct? mvg, Hans noonallREMOVETHIS@hotmailREMOVETHIS.com Tag: msn messenger Tag: 67231

    - MSN 7.0 beta woes :S I used to use MSN Messenger 6.2. Then I tried sending a message to a contact who was in mobile phone mode (off-line?). It says message not sent, please upgrade to latest version of MSN (click here). So I followed the link. It made me un-install MSN Messenger 6.2 and then install MSN Messenger 7.0 beta. Now I have 7.0 fully installed. I tried logging in. It says: Signing in to .NET Messenger Service failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. 80070195 Click the Help button to check the current service status. -------------- I click Help. The page loads up saying the service is fine/OK. I reboot. I try logging in again. I still get the same error message. What's going on??? Tag: msn messenger Tag: 67219

    - 0x81000370 Sign in Error Hello This is my first time in this newsgroup so apologies if I am raising a subject that has been dealt with before. I have a business computer running Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 4 with all updates installed plus anti-virus, malware programs running. All running nicely and kept up-to-date. This computer has just had MSN Messenger (Version 6.2) installed on it but the main user cannot log in. The error message is the "popular" 0x81000370 sign in error. I have tried many solutions posted on the internet without success. Messenger has been re-downloaded & reinstalled many times. It is only the 2000 computer with the problem and no users can log into MSN Messenger on that computer. No problem logging in on the two other computers (they use XP Pro) in this small network. The 2000 computer is the server and has the router/firewall attached to it. It is connected to the internet using a broadband cable connection. I know this is a pretty vague question but I am wondering if anyone has solved this login problem and what they used to do so. There seems to be hundreds of possible solutions out there but I am interested to hear from anyone who has actually fixed this pain in the neck problem that I have spent hours on. Any help appreciated. -- Regards Echy Greetings from Melbourne, Australia www.thatsmelbourne.com.au Tag: msn messenger Tag: 67186

    - PB MSN connexion Penelope Essaies de faire cette procedure pour ton pb MSN si le code erreur est le meme:0x8100031 Papa Click Start, then Run, and enter the following: regsvr32 softpub.dll then click OK (DONT FORGET THE "SPACE" BETWEEN regsvr32 and softpub.dll) 1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that the time and date are set. 2. If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the correct case (uppercase or lowercase). 3. Change your password here: http://memberservicesnet.passport.com/memberservice.srf to something smaller (under 10-12 characters4. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc. ), it's possible that Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you upgraded. You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall if this is the case. 5. If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger -- try restarting it and see if that helps the situation. You also might try uninstalling an installed firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a problem (even if it is disabled). 6. Clear your IE cache and cookies -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then click the Delete Files button, and when that's complete click the Delete Cookies button. 7. Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check for server certificate revocation" is unchecked. Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL 3.0' is checked, then click OK. 8. On the "Tools" menu in Internet Explorer, click "Internet Options" then click on "Connections" then click on "settings" and make sure all the 3 check boxes are UNTICKED then click OK. courtesy of jonathan kay >-----Original Message----- >i havent been able to sign into msn for about 3 months now >and i dont no what it is. when i try and sign in it says >there was a problem connecting you to msn messenger click >troubleshoot for help with this problem.error code >0x8100031a i wondered if you could tell me whats wrong >with it > >. > Tag: msn messenger Tag: 67173

    - ***FIX*** serflog.c virus, msn: Good afternoon folks... I have got rid of my virus!!!! Let me say this was NOT at all easy; the program that got rid of it was: http://www.free-av.com/ - antivir I completely understand the problems of the virus closing any program opened; so what you need to do is somehow get that package to your desktop, and run it by either clicking loads to overload your system, or by pressing return on your system, try get through the menus without closing the program - ignore 'close this program'? dialogues, it's the virus trying to close it! Click no then click on another button ie: shove the 'close? yes/no' dialogue box over the 'next' box, so when you press 'no' you can press 'next' in the install program... or use return again and keep your finger on it. Once it's installed, ensure you're connected through the net ( i guess you need broadband ideally...) and it'll update, then run it'll scan your computer manually (possibly with no windows displayed) and find the virus and scarily flash on your screen as the virus keeps closing it. This is because the virus closes most programs, and you'll have to be quick with your eyesight...take it easy, it'll keep flashing, so read what you can of them each time it flashes up. Restart your pc, and it should delete it, then find other parts of the virus... Tip: as it kept flashing up initially i managed to tick 'display info box' which came up with options, i changed the selection from 'always' to 'after restart', and the below option to 'delete virus' as opposed to close/clean/quarantine. It worked, and now i'm running without the serflog.c virus I do warn you, this is hard, but no other solution has worked successfully. I will be using this virus scanner from now on too! If you've any questions, please post here. To the 'regulars' if you could please put this in better words then maybe that would help people better. Unfortunately it's all about timing and overloading your CPU to install the program, but i can reassure you it does work! Until symantec produces a removal tool (if at all) this is the onl y method i have found that works. G. Tag: msn messenger Tag: 67128

    - new msn serflog.c virus Hi there, Whilst i was out playing football this evening, my sister accepted a file off her friend on MSN (possibly without her friend knowing this was occurring...) called 'Best Friends' - this sounds like a randomly generated name. The task manager cannot be displayed to stop the file, but as an I.T pro, i'm confused as to what to do. Rededit can't start, as the virus closes all windows/applications, i can however use windows explorer. I think the virus is possibly named O.exe, as this wouldn't allow the computer to shutdown. My norton corporate anti-virus program *can* scan, but finds nothing. msmsgs.exe is running <--normal messenger program msnmsgr.exe is running <--*not* normal, i only have one messenger program, the above! (?) mscv.com <--google yields no results, randomly generated filename? I did manage to exit this 'mscv' by repeatedly hitting ctrl-alt-del - but it just restarted again. I feel this hidden applications O.exe is also causing problems, as well as mscv.exe Regedit wont run, msconfig WILL run - tried disabling just about everything, it done nothing; most symantec removal tools for common new propogation viruses either are closed by the virus, or find nothing. I should specify that i've connected successfully to the laptop's regedit via the wireless link (prob a good idea to disable internet access now, eh?) but i couldn't open anything down the tree, came up with an error. Help! I think I need it! Cheers, G. Tag: msn messenger Tag: 67073

    - Video failure I am having a perplexing MSN Messenger video problem. I am using an Nvidia GSTi200 for video-in and capture (nVidia WDM Video Capture (universal)), the OS is Win XP sp2, CPU is AMD Athlon XP, 1400 mhz. If I use the MSN Messenger audio/video tuning wizard to select the camera to use, the picture displays and is of high quality. If I then attempt to adjust the camera settings in "Webcam Settings" I get the following error message: "You cannot change your camera settings because either your camera is not plugged in to your computer or you are using it in a video conversation with another program." This happened using version 6.0 (6.0.207) and now with version 7.0 beta. If I attempt to start video with a contact I get essentially the same message and the attempt to establish a video connection fails. Obviously, since the picture displays in the Wizard, the camera is plugged in. I have not established any other video conversations. If I use AMCAP I can adjust the camera settings and capture the image. Can you help solve this problem? Is this an SP2 problem? Tag: msn messenger Tag: 67062

    - crashing MSN messenger 6.2 and 7.0beta on XP SP2 and webcam Weird issue: Have used MSN messenger upto 6.2 on W2K SP4 without any prob for as well my Logitech cam as my "normal" composite cam and video capture card (Video Action!). Tried using MSN messenger 6.2 and 7.0beta on XP SP2 now after fresh install of XP SP2. XP crashes every time when trying audio/video tuning wizard to select my DV Action video grabber card and normal composite camera. MSN messenger works fine using Logitech Quickcam. All other apps (yahoo messenger, grabber card software, macromedia flash-based websites using my cam,.... ) work fine using the Video Action! grabber card, so it's ONLY MSN messenger giving the problem of XP completely crashing into bluescreen and rebooting.
