messenger 7.5 crashing my IE???

messages.
It just plain locks up, cant click or do anything except close the
program and report the crash.

Custom Emoticons and Display Names
Hey,
I was just wondering why Microsoft hasn't listened to a large portion of
the MSN Messenger community and allowed custom emoticons to be used in
your MSN Messenger Display Name?
I understand that your entire list would then have to download the
emoticon in order for it to display properly, but how large are they,
really? The emoticon I want to use in my name is less than 2kb (19x19,10
frames of animation)! Even a dialup user couldn't complain about that.
A simple option to "disable automatic downloading of custom emoticons"
would even eliminate the small portion of users concerned about that
bandwidth use, and open up all sorts of avenues for customizing your MSN
Messenger experience.
So what's up?
Please, someone tell me I'm wrong and that this is actually supported. Tag: need paint shortcut Tag: 79487
MSN freezes on loading list of backgrounds. ver 7.0.0816.
Upon opening the list of backgrounds set up on messenger, i click on one of
the backgrounds (which i added from a file which hasn't been moved) MSN
diddn't freeze but just the backgrounds window froze which meant that it
wouldn't move or do anything else. I had to ctrl+alt+delete it (i use win
98). another post said to delete the files in the backgrounds folder but i
have other backgrounds in there and a non-msn standard background is used
too. can anyone help me.
P.S. I will upgrade to XP soon just not at the moment. Tag: need paint shortcut Tag: 79477

MSN Reconnect Problem
I noticed that when I am signed into MSN Messenger and I lose internet
connection MSN messenger drops out which is fine, but when it tries to
connect or when I try to connect on first try I get error "Signing in to MSN
Messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try
again later." If I hit retry I get the same error, but if I hit cancel and
then "Sign In" in signs in without any trouble. Anyone else having this

msn messenger with UPnP problem?
Hi
MSN messenger works ok with UPnP turned on except when doing
invitiation for applications like White Board, Application Sharing.
It seems the IP-Address field of the ACCEPT message is not using the
external IP which is returned by the SB server. Instead, it uses the
private IP address if it's behind a NAT server. And the following SIP
INVITE message will be sent to the private IP address which will be
thrown away by the first router it hits.
I was wondering if it's a MSN messenger bug or a bug of the UPnP device
(gateway/NAT server). It looks more like a MSN bug because the external
IP address is already in the profile message returned by the SB server.
Why not use the external one? If using the private IP, why not use
another header field: IP-Address_Internal?
I would appreciate it if any one could give me an affirmative answer.
Thanks

Signing in to MSN messenger failed.........
I installed Messenger 7.5 recently and to be honest wish I hadn't. I found
earlier versions used to log me in and out on a regular basis which was
annoying but any outage would be relatively short-lived.
However after running Messenger 7.5 for a while I get the login window and
if I try to login I get the message:
"Signing in to MSN messenger failed because the service is temporarily
unavailable. Please try again later."
If I hit retry I get the same message again. If I hit cancel and then login
again all is well.
Any explanations. Also I use WinXP and can't find the earlier version of
7.0.
I have always used a NATs router and now have UPNP enabled to no effect. Tag: need paint shortcut Tag: 79447

suggest: full screen for sharing webcam,tweak settings for vid/voi
I love the new full screen mode for videoconferencing, but I wish it was also
available for regular sharing webcam mode as well. I tend to use the webcam
sharing and voice in combination instead of videoconferencing because for
some reason they use different codecs and the one for videoconferencing uses
a sound codec that performs much worse than the voice conversation codec on
my system. So, it would also be nice to allow advanced users to select codecs
and tweak compression/quality tradeoff settings for video, voice, and
videoconferencing. Tag: need paint shortcut Tag: 79437
One of Two computers won't connect to MSN or Hotmail
I have two computers hooked up to a router. One of them is fine, I can
connect to MSN and I can go to hotmail.com too. The other computer will
not connect. I've tried deleting my temp internet files, cookies,
changing my security settings to medium, reverting to a few days ago.
Nothing worked! I can surf to web sites just fine, I have no problem
there. It's just connecting to MSN, hotmail and the verizon news server
(forgot to mention that one).It seems like a .net passport problem,
what should I do?

Multiple emailsusage/email-key.
I've got a hotmail account I'm using that consists of my full name and that's
what I give to friends, but I also want to add people without the use of that
email, so I think it would be great to allow either allow multiple
emailadresses (to a single "messenger-window") or a "msn-hotmail-key". There
can't be more than 99'999'999 messenger users so a homepage where you can put
in your hotmailadress and get a key connected to it (small key), or just a
decryption of your emailadress (hashing? anyway larger key).
Don't let advertising get out of hand, otherwise great product! Tag: need paint shortcut Tag: 79419
Booting PC and Messenger not signing in
Hello. When my XP PC boots, Messenger never automatically signs in, and I
have to click the sign in once the PC has fully booted.
Is there any way that I can delay Messenger so that it doesn't try to sign
in before the PC has fully booted and all other services have been started?
I'm not sure, but it looks as though Zone Alarm has not fully loaded, and
this is stopping Messenger from signing in - Is this possible?

80048820 error again
Guys,
I know this error has been discussed a lot but I've got the same problema
and I can't fix it. I've followed all the procedures mencionated here and it
didn't work.
I have Norton 2006 and I updated the MSN 7.5 when it ask me if I want to do
so. After that I can't connect anymore. I've disabled the norton, also I
changed its configuration option(program control) to allow all the action
from MSN program, general rules and I desactivated de Windows messenger
protector. When I try the MSN Messenger Connection Troubleshooter, the test
results shows "Default gateway" - Your gateway appears to be offline. Basicly
it was working fine before updating. I don't have norton CD instalation
anymore and I don't want to uninstall it. What Should I do? Should I give up
MSN Messenger and switch to Yahoo Messenger? Im using XP PRO SP 2, DSL
connection. Hope u have a solution. Cheers. Tag: need paint shortcut Tag: 79410
distorted voice
Hi,
I have a 1.5M link. Running MSN Messenger I get good video and good
and noiseless audio.
However, the voice of the person on the other side is distorted. The
pitch is high. Like a cartoon character, or a person who have inhaled
Helium gas, if you know what I mean.
His Mic is OK, since he speaks with others without the problem.
My speakers are OK, since I can hear music without distortion.
Any ideas ???? Tag: need paint shortcut Tag: 79399
HUGE bug in recent versions of MSN Messenger: Consumes 100% CPU on startup, hanging system.
When you're on a wireless network connection, and that connection has not
yet been created (or failed in some fashion), even if MSN Messenger is NOT
set to sign in automatically, it stalls on startup (presumably in the
initial Network connection code), and then proceeds to consume nearly 100%
of the CPU.
Could we get a fix for this please? Tag: need paint shortcut Tag: 79397

video problem
I posed this problem a week ago, but no-one appeared to know the answer, so
I'll try one more time to see if there is an MS-MVP around. If not, I'll
give up! I have MSN Messenger version 7.5 0311. Windows XP Pro.
Creative webcam.
I cannot initiate a video conversation in Messenger. If someone invites
me, everything works fine.
There is simply no video conversation option either as an icon or in the
dropdown list for me to click on. Everything used to work OK until I
downloaded the latest version. It is the same webcam that I have used for
years. Other colleagues say that they have the icon & option. I have only
"Start a voice conversation" or "Send my webcam". I see in this newsgroup
that someone else has had this problem.
I would be grateful for any advice.

clumsy feature
When trying to insert a certain icon while chatting with Messenger 7, I
noticed that they seem to shift their positions each time. Now, I have a lot
of icons so it takes quite a search to find the same bloody icon back!
I'm very surprised about this "feature". Do programmers really beleive they
make things easier this way? Or did they want to make a sort of a game out
of it??

chat window scrolling problems while Away
I've noticed that I can't scroll up the chat window while the person I'm
chatting with is "Away". Well, I can scroll up but it does not stay scrolled
up. This seems counterintuitive; it would make oodles more sense if the chat
window were biased to showing incoming text when my chat partner is
"Available". But when he/she is "Away", why should I not be able to read
earlier messages in the chat window without interference from that stupid
bias?

MSN Messenger Crashing IE While In Hotmail
For the past few weeks now, when signed in to MSN Messenger and only when in
Hotmail (using IE), IE crashes with the usual error message "...has to close."
This only happens if: 1) signed in to MSN Messenger AND 2) in Hotmail.
If not signed in to MSN Messenger, IE does not creash while in Hotmail.
If signed in to MSN Messenger, no other webpages have had errors with IE.
I have seen a few other people say they have the exact same problem.
I've tried several recent versions of MSN Messenger 7.x
I have performed a total sweep of my rig with: Spybot, Ad-aware, MS AntiSpy
application, and Hijack-this.
Please respond back if you have had this issue and have successfully
resolved it.
Please do not reply back with suggestions of "shooting in the dark."
I have spent way too much effort on this issue, and I'm not prepared to put
forth any further effort unless someone has a resolution.
