signed in at another location?
please forgive my bumbling ineptitude ....
whenever i log in to my msn premium account, i get two
confusing pop up message from the msn messenger icon on
the taskbar. the first: 'you have signed into messenger
on another computer. click here to sign in again'
immediately after that message is closed, the second one
pops up and explains to me that 'you have been signed
out of NET messenger service because you signed in at a
different location.'
i really hope this is not a stupid question and i want
you to know that i have utilized the resources available
to me to try and figure this out on my own. and imagine
that, im not figuring it out. can someone help me
understand?
thank you for your polite attention despite your busy

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,

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
hiding e-mail message alert on log in page.
How do I keep the notification that there is e-mail

message has arrived. Can this be turned off and if so how?

Whenever I click on the Fun and Games icon in a chat

Hey there, I work in an organization that holds 50

recently many users decide to add friends and family

way to limit thier messenger to only the people inside
the office? (stupid question, I know) Thanks for your

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.

Following on from my observation 15 03 2005 about strange sites that take

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.

***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.

MSNMsgr 6.2 upgrade error
Due to a message (and failure to start) Messenger 6.2, I
attempted twice now, to install the newer version. The
downlaod fails each time near the end. Frustrated, I went
to microsoft.com and downloaded the entire 6.2 program
(SetupDl.exe). I closed down runing programs including my
anti-virus, and ran the program. No error messages were
received. I shut down & restarted to insure no problems.

notification to upgrade. Any suggestions of where to go

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,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible, (save from uninstalling) to

If not, it's goodbye Hotmail. With Google, and Yahoo providing

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.
BTW: Hardware never changed between W2k and XP, and XP is a fully clean
install.
Anyone else here seen this behaviour before ?
