    - Solitaire Showdown Using MSN 7.5 and using a wireless link, my wife and I have played just over 1100 games of Solitaire Showdown - we don't get out much! For some reason the game doesn't seem to load up now. She will invite me to play and my cards load up quite quickly. Hers loads for a while then the MSN butterfly sits and flaps for a minute or so and then informs us that the service is unavailable. I can't think of any significant changes I've made to either PC. They do talk to each other in messenger ok. I can understand if the system is overloaded but then why would my PC load up the game quickly yet hers tells us the game is unavailable? Any ideas please?

    - MSN Messenger mobile settings Hi, I'm trying to get the messenger to reroute to my mobile when I'm offline. I've setup the account on mobile.msn.com. In the options of Messenger on the phone tab, I do not have the Mobile settings option, which allows me to select if I want my contacts to send me text messages on my mobile. My question is how can I get those settings to appear in my options? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tag: How to submit Bugs for WLM8 Tag: 80619

    - Strange behaviour of MSN Messenger 7.5 A friend of mine has a new computer with Messenger 7.5 pre-installed. Connecting and logging in into MSN goes fine. After logging in it seems that MSN Messenger wants to connect to something or want to start something. Every two seconds the sandclock appears, then the sandclock disappears for two seconds to reappear after two seconds and so on. Because of this the machine is slowed down a lot. Anybody any idea what messenger is doing and what we can do to stop this strange behaviour? Thanks in advance. Tag: How to submit Bugs for WLM8 Tag: 80614

    - Question about logging chats A friend of mine asked me to post this question. His daughter's computer had a chat session on it from a "online buddy" of hers and he was a little upset about what was being said in it ,, from my take of things , it was a little bullying of his daughter , and when he printed and showed the other girls parents they denied that it was there daughter even though it was her screen name ,, they claimed that she wasn't on the computer at the time of the chat and they stated that many of her friends have their daughters screen name and password and that it might have been one of them. My question ,really his ,, is there anyway to see an ip address or any other way of finding what computer it might have come from ??? Thanks Tag: How to submit Bugs for WLM8 Tag: 80587

    - bloatware, 45mb for what exactly? Why the hell does MSN im require 45mb of ram? I just recently switched from the 7.0 beta version to the 7.5 beta version, only to find it drastically more piggy with resources. Why the extra 50% in memory usage? There was nothing to really justify an im program with more than 16mb of usage. Do we not remember when 7mb of usage with icq was a big deal and people were screaming bloatware? Microsoft, write more efficient software (because this is not efficient software, it lags the hell out of even the newer systems on the market), because if not, I'll be uninstalling your messenger and so will alot of other people when they realize just how piggish your software is. 2 years ago systems were being configured with 128mb of ram (lower end). So your bloatware consumes half of a 2 year old system's resources. I like to game, I can assure you that there's alot of people in the gaming community who are pissed with how inefficiently your xp operating system and other pieces of bloatware handle the resources of our systems, I hate being constantly interupted, and to tell you the truth: I'm uninstalling xp as much as I like some of the extra features, they are simply too costly on the hardware end to justify them, and I've seen software programs do BETTER without taxing my hardware so much, so why is yours so special that it requires so much resources to do the same as other software which uses significantly less? Or are you in bed with intel and other hardware manufacturer's so that we have to constantly pay for useless hardware upgrades? Tag: How to submit Bugs for WLM8 Tag: 80573

    - MSM messnger 7.5 not working Hi Ive been using messenger 7.5 since it came out with no problems at all, earlier today i had to reboot my computer and when i tried to log back in to messenger it gave me a error window saying it had detected a problem and it had to shut down sorry for the inconvenience blah blah blah, ive tried 2 different versions of 7.5 both 311 and 322 and both give the same error, ive now reverted back to 7.0 which is working fien for me, but id rather be using 7.5 as i liked the new sign in features, does any body know why 7.5 is acting like this for me? ive clicked thru the error report and checked it and the microsoft window that pops up tells me that the error is most likely caused by win32/small.M trojen altho ive ran norton anti vir and microsoft anti spyware which have found nothing.

    - Vid Set-up Works, but can then only send Audio (no Vid) I'm using XP with MSN-M 7.5. I had to "allow" MSNMGR.exe access through the firewall just to sign in. I'm using my JVC DV cam as my Web cam. I go through the video set-up in MSN-M, and everything works fine. But then I start a video conversation with another user (same MSN-M version, XP, LogiTech cam), and they only get my audio. They don't receive my video, and I can't see my own video in the smaller vid box in the talk window. I receive their video and audio fine. And while this is happening, I can go back into Vid Set-up and everything still looks fine. Do I simply need to open all these ports that I have read about throughout various posts?

    - Unable to sign into MSN 7.5 Hi everyone, I am having problems with msn 7.5 at the moment. When I try to sign in, there is a long delay from when I type in my email address to when it displays what I have typed, however the password is instant. Then when I click 'sign in', I get the error message 'Signing in to MSN Messenger Failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later'. This has been going on for over 24 hours now, I can sign in fine via Windows Messenger, and the MSN system status is 'everything running ok'. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem continues. I am using Windows XP. Any ideas? Thanks (and a belated Merry Christmas everyone) Tag: How to submit Bugs for WLM8 Tag: 80459

    - No contacts after .net passport address change Hi everyone, and first of all, Merry Christmas. Something really annoying has happened to me in the last few hours. My email address has changed, so I though i'd finally get around to changing the .net messenger email address. No problem I thought. I'll just change the address at the passport.com portal. It says all my contacts go over seamlessly within an hours so there should be no problem How wrong could I be. Now when I log in there is no sight of any life. Wheras before my contact list was populated with at least 5-10 people on at all time, now there is absolutly nothing. Nada. Not a saussage. The contact list move, obviously wasnt that seamless after all. Wonder if anyone can can shed any light on my problem, and / or if anyone from Microgiant, look into my account. The passport is staticfish [att] gmail [dott] com Many Thanks Dan Tag: How to submit Bugs for WLM8 Tag: 80442

    - Delete one of two accounts Hi all, and Merry Christmas... I somehow setup two passport accounts (I think, not sure). One account uses my personal email account at bmi.net, and one uses the hotmail.com account. I want to remove (delete) the bmi.net account, but do not have a clue about there to go or how to do this. I did go to Control panel-User Accounts-Change an account-Manage my Network passwords, and deleted the bmi.net account. Then I opened MSN Messenger and clicked on the bmi.net account and said "Forget me". That took care of that issue. However this morning our daughter logged on to chat, and she used the bmi.net account. So, somewhere it is still visible to other users. Anyone know how to delete just this one (bmi.net) account? Also is it possible to have an different pass port account while using Windows Messenger, as opposed to a different passport account while using MSN messenger. Maybe this is how I got the bmi.net one setup. I just want one account at hotmail.com, and the bmi.net account deleted. I worry about spam on my original email account. Thanks for any advice. PS, googled, found some information, but at this point am not sure about how most of the MSN works. Tag: How to submit Bugs for WLM8 Tag: 80441
