    - Possible Sign-in Bug with Messenger? When someone has me on their blocked list, I cannot see them when they are online. However, I still receive a popup notification box that they have just signed in if I am online before they go online. Is this a bug? Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 38006

    - SPAM Within minutes of installing Messenger for the first time I am beseiged with unsavoury e-mails - when I had very few unsolicited ones ever before. Microsoft's security must be non-existent - no other explanation works. But I suppose I should have expected that. Nonetheless extremely disappointing. I guess they'll try and sell me a SPAM filter next and present that as "caring". Yuk. Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 38005

    - Opera incompatibility When I click on the pop-up messages in MSN messenger alerting me to e-mail, it's always IE that opens instead of my default browser. I have MSN Messenger 6.0, Windows XP Pro, & Opera 7.0. Is this annoying bug programmed straight into MSN? Or is there any way for me to change it? I hate using IE, and so in turn it makes me hate using MSN. Thanks Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37997

    - Sound Problems and Intel's Answer Intel tells me via email that updating driver will solve audio problem that occurs with Intel PRO/100 VE NIC: Thank you for contacting Intel(R) Technical Support. The issue you have described may be corrected by updating to the latest driver version available for the Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Adapter. Proceed with the setup and installation of the drivers from the Windows* 2000, XP, and Windows Server 2003 Network Adapter Driver Set [PRO2KXP.EXE]. This should correct the problem you are experiencing with Microsoft* MSN Messenger software. If you continue to experience difficulties or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Sincerely, Daniel Z. Intel(R) Technical Support Unfortunately for me, it didn't work. Was thinking that your original suggested fix of Intelnicfix.reg might be affecting their fix. Could you tell me what to change the dword to, in order to set it back to the way it was originally? Thanks. Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37982

    - Both Sides Need to Invite for Video?? When using latest MSN Messenger, both sides need to activate video (invite) with 'WebCam' button in order for it to work.

    - cannot see/hear other party Hello, I usually use Windows Messenger and it works very well for me. I also have MSN Messenger 6.0 which I have just started using. I completed the tuning wizard OK. When inviting my friend to a webcam, I could see my vvideo but I could not see theirs, nor hear them. They could not see/hear us either. Is this to do with port opening on the firewall ? Also, I use a digital camcorder. However, I emulate in Video for Windows (VFW) using Trackercam software. So I can't see that as being the problem. Can anyone offer any advice ? Thanks Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37973

    - IM and XP firewall I just realized that after setting the XP firewall, IM does not connect anymore. Is that by design? I did not see this problem before but now, whenever I set the firewall, I get an error when signing in WM & MSNM. I have MSN8 and I have no problem signing in totheir service. Is there a workaround?

The computer in qestion is hard wired to the base station. Instant messenegr works fine, but I recently bought a Logitech Webcam Messenger camera. When I attempt to add webcam to an IM session, I can see the other person's picture, but both see and I only see a blank screen for me. My camera does work as I have successfully created and sent video via email using this camers.

    - Video in MSN Messenger 6.1 - Audio in Messenger 5.0 - Not both I can receive and transmit audio in Messenger 5.0 but not Video I can Receive and Transmit Video in MSN Messenger 6.1. but not audio (dead silence - not even the hiss - seems like the sound card gets shut off) I cannot get both video and audio to work simultaneously in either application. Does not appear to be a firewall problem. When using 5.0 I can receive audio fine except that I also hear my audio coming through from the senders speakers and its a bit chopped up. So I listen to myself and determine what parts of my voice dropped out and repeat myself until I've completed the sentence. Any advice?

    - Using Logitech Webcams? I have MSN Messenger 6.1 and Windows98. I would like to buy a webcam. If I buy a Logitech webcam, does the other user need to download some stupid Logitech program in order to see me?

    - Best Sound Card for Audio Conversations? Hello -- Like so many others here, I have had nothing but trouble in getting audio to work on MSN Messenger. I tried upgrading to 6.1 -- Didn't work. I tried installing the archiac version of RTCDLL.DLL -- Didn't work. I tried fiddling with my sound device settings -- Didn't work. What's really odd about my problem (at least I haven't heard anyone else describe this), is that I can hear them loud and clear, but they cannot hear anything *intelligible* from me. "Intelligible" is the operative work here, because they report that they *can* hear me typing on the keyboard or making some other non-verbal sound, and they *can* hear my voice, but it sounds to them like a "bear's growl", which I interpret to mean that my voice is coming through veeeeeery slooooooweeeed dooooown. But why would this happen?! Could it possibly be a sluggish sound system? My sound is integrated into the motherboard, while most people I have tried unsuccessfully to communicate with have a PCI card (e.g. SoundBlaster). Do those of you who have had success with audio have full-fledged sound cards, and if so, what type? I'd really like to find out if it would be worth my while to purchase a new, better card for my system just to see if it makes a difference. Please let me know. Thanks... If it's any help, here's my current setup: Computer: Self-built, AMD Duron 950Mhz, VIA KT133A chipset Sound hardware: Onboard motherboard (AC 97 compatible) Memory: 256M OS: Windows 98SE (Are most of you using 2000 or XP?) Modem: 56k, PCI Connection: Dial-Up, no firewall -- Dave Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37946

    - MSN 6.1 Audio Issues A Friend and I both downloaded MSN 6.1 (to make sure we are running the same app) We can cannect to each other (We get connection established) He can hear me and I cannot hear him. He is running Windows 2000 Pro, and his sound meters bar IS moving. (He also passed the audio test) Neither of us are running QoS, we are both running Linksys routers with uPnP enabled. My "advanced connection information" says "You are connected to the Internet through a UPnP IP restricted NAT (Administrator)" (which is weird cause I am not logged in a admin...) His advanced connection info say "You are directly connected to the internet (No firewall)" Yet he is using the same nat I am! He is using Wireless, but I don't think that should matter. Still no QoS or anything. He can hear me fine. (I am running Windows XP Pro) This is getting frustrating!. Any Ideas? Thanks! Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37944

    - Video Conversations I have a desktop and a laptop that are both operating on home network. They both have Windows XP professional and they are both installed with MSN Messenger 6.1. I am attempting to set up a video conversation between the 2 computers and for some reason the desktop is not transmitting any video or audio. The laptop is working fine. Both firewalls are disabled. I know that both cameras work fine because I have swapped them between the two computers and the problem stays with the desktop. I can receive audio and video on the desktop I just can't seem to transmit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Steve Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37942

    - Sign in name not the main users When i sign into windows messenger, the screen comes up asking if i want to sign in as one name, or sign in under a different account. The problem is, the main name that comes up is not me, but someone who used my computer once before, when we first setting up. So if i want to sign in myself, on my own computer, i have to click "sign in under a different account. I have gone into control panel and user accounts to see if i could remove the other contact from my list, but my name is the only one there. This is frustrating as i cant just press enter to sign in, i have to do it manually. grrr Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    - Email form "I find that I have collect a LOT of custom emoticons, and I can never remember the code for half of them - I was just thinking it would be great if you could have an option to increase the size of the emoticon preview window or replace some of the ones which are already there with your custom ones, for example, I know the code for the smiley face, and I would prefer to have a preview for one of smiley face, and I would prefer to have a preview for one of my custom ones which I can not remember the code for. It would also be cool if you could add more than one emoticon/background/display pic at once and save/load ones you have had in there previously just like you can save/load your friend lists." - have been trying to send that over the email form on the "contact us" part of the messenger site but there is something wrong with their form and an error comes up when you try to send, is there any other way to send an idea?

    - Bugreport: Error on install The user used the norwegian version of MSN 6.1 for Windows 98 and got an errormessage that the user could not understand... The user had the system-folder My doc. pointed to a non-existing place. This was enough to put MSN Messenger 6.1 out... Knock it off it's feat, or something... So when the My-docs-folder again was pointed to an existing folder, the install worked fine... The problem or bug in this case is that Messanger should have a better install-routine. It should be OK to install the program with a mailfunction My-docs-folder-setting. Or Messenger should tell the user to point it to a working folder and retry install... - Hemo!

    - Error when signing in i've tried for a while to figure out whats wrong but i keep getting a messege when i sign into msn saying that my password is wrong. This started 2 months ago in septemeber when i had msn 4.6 and now ive upgraded to 6.1 because msn,ca said you have to for saftey reasons, but that didn't work. I always wrote a letter to msn help and they wrote back saying a whole bunch of things to check and when i did they were all working and in place. So if you can help in any way please let me know. The exact messege that pops up is "Sorry, we could not sign you in because the sign-in name you entered does not exist or your password is incorrect. If you have forgotten your password, please click help in the main Messenger window, and then click Help Topics for instructions on resetting your password. 0x81000303". Thanks!

    - Messenger Error 0x80004005 I have been unable to log onto Messenger from any computer using my hotmail account for over a week now. Other people can log onto messenger from my computers, but I get a "Service is Unavailable" message. My hotmail account itself is fine and I have tried 6.1, 6.0, and just now I tried 5.0 to no avail (and I am using Windows 2000 with all patches and updates). I have gone back and forth with microsoft support but they gave me some form email saying the can't give me any more information about my account because of the Privacy policy I accepted and now will not respond to my incessant emailing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37879

    - Error while Installing Jonathan, I have downloaded MSN 6.1 and I have tried installing. Once the setup dialog box appears an error is encountered stating "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2889." Then I click ok, and afterwards the setup dialog box says "...Installation interrupted. Click finish to close this wizard..." After clicking finish another dialog box pops up stating "MSN Messenger setup has failed with error code: '1603'. Please go to the MSN Messenger Web site and download the software from there". I have tried downloading again and again, I have tried updating the msiexec.exe file with the regserver command, tried clearing the registry, but nothing seems to work. I have MSN 4.6 installed though, but it can't work since it needs to update... Please some help... Thanks... Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37878

    - Where does MSN Messenger 6.x store data? I would like to know if MSN Messenger 6.x actually stores other people's pictures and emoticons when we receive them and where? We actually see these pictures so surely they are downloaded but are they stored anywhere? Or only in some temp folder that's emptied every once in a while...? Thank you.

    - why no audio in 6.01 have waited for MSN Messenger version 6.1 in the hope that I would get the voice feature back from version 6.0. I only connect with my sister in another state via Messenger and we both have version 6.1. We also are both running Windows XP. We have the standard Windows XP firewall protection activated. Neither of us is on a network. We both use a dial-up ISP. We can connect our video cameras and have the text messaging feature working. It is the voice that we are missing. Every time we try to start a voice conversation we get the "cannot connect" message. The audio feature simply never gets up and running. It didn't in version 6.0 and it doesn't in 6.1. I see lots of people are having this same problem. We both have plenty of horsepower on our computers. They are both fast and full of memory. Is there any hope that the voice feature in MSN Messenger can be activated. Both my sister and I are old and neither of us have what I would call "advanced" computer skills. We really want to be able to converse via the Internet. Can anyone help? Please.... Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37875

I ve got other machines on the same network able sign in on MSN Messenger, running (running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003). I've already cleared IE's cache and cookies. I've checked that IE's security settings are OK ("Check for server certificate revocation" is unchecked, "Use SSL 2.0" and "Use SSL 3.0" is checked). I've reinstalled Messenger 6.1 several times, rebooting between each installation. Any ideas? Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37863

    - Relay server Is there any way to know whether a connection is using a relay server other than just assuming it based on the quality of the connection? Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37860

    - Testing connections Does anyone know where or how I can run connection tests. I'd like to try some different settings to solve some of the problems. The only person I've been able to test with is a relative in a distant time zone and they are difficult to get mutual time with and are getting extremely bored with my fiddling. Any suggestions? Tag: MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601' Tag: 37855

Hi all.

I'm trying to upday MSN messanger from 4.7 to MSN 6.1. I
have successfully downloaded the setup file but when I
run it I get this message:

"MSN messenger setup has failed with error '1601'. Please
goto the MSN web site and down load the software from
there."

It says to download from the MSN site... but that is
where it was downloaded from. Is the problem because I
haven't un-installed MSN 4.7 first? I don't want to get
rid of that yet incase I can't get it back. If there is a
problem with 6.1... is MSN 6.0 still available?

FYI.... this is on my new laptop running Windows XP Home
Edition.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Greetings Daniel,

This usually happens if your Windows Installer is not working properly.

To correct, do the following -- click Start, then Run, and type the following:
%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\msiexec.exe /regserver
then click OK.

After this, run the install again.
