Neither of us has blocked and both of us appear online to other people. This has appened to me before with another contact. How do I make it so that he appears online again so I can speak to him? Please, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance e~ Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80941

    - Nasty screech after some time... Video conversation works well for some minutes then horrible noise apparently from A, heard by B. No amount of twiddling with mic or speaker volumes or physical placement at either end seem to clear. B can still be heard by A. Only solution so far has been to disconnect then start video conversation again. All is OK - time before screech varies from 30 secs to 4-5 minutes. Any solutions?

    - How to create a conversation link? Hello everybody, the options dialogue in MSN Messenger 7.5 features a checkbox labelled "Allow starting a messenger conversation via a link in a web browser" (text in my German GUI: "Start einer Messenger-Unterhaltung über einen Link in einem Webbrowser zulassen"). This suggests that there can be some kind of links on webpages, that can start conversations in MSN Messenger. However, I was unable to find any information on how to create such a link. What kind of a URL do I have to use for the respective <a>-Tag in my HTML code? Thanks in advance, Florian Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80935

    - System status? Hi I've been unable to sign in to msn messenger today - I've tried via my gprs connection, my adsl connection, on 3 different PCs, and I've tried web messenger as well - nothing's working. I did sign in briefly this morning, but haven't been able sign in again in the 12 or so hours since then. None of the people in my office could sign in either. The system status webpage says everything's up and running, but something definitely seems wrong. Is anyone else having problems today? I'm trying to figure out if it's an SA problem, or if it's worldwide :-( Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80932

    - Handwriting tab does not appear Dear Sir/Lady, My IBM ThinkPad T42p laptop PC comes with Windows XP SP 1 Professional and Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 preinstalled by IBM. I am using the latest version 7.5 of MSN Messenger and when I click the Handwriting tab in the Conversation Window, a message pops up saying that in order to be able to see and use the Handwriting feature, I should install or update software in my system. Clicking the Help button in this information window opens the MSN Messenger Help window and subsequently clicking the link for users of Windows XP or Windows 2000 (Service Pack 3 or later), I am transferred to the Windows Update web site. As I have never updated either my OEM version of my IBM preinstalled Windows XP SP 1 operating system or my Internet Explorer 6 SP 1 software ever since I purchased my ThinkPad in late August 2004 and I have now found out that there is a total of 35.7 MB of various updates that can be automatically downloaded and installed on my system from the Windows Update web site, I would like to know for sure if this is indeed the reason the Handwriting tab in the MSN Messenger Conversation Window does not appear or if the cause of the problem is something different. In the former case, do I have to install the entire number of 35.7 MB of updates to solve the problem? Can the installation of just one or just a few a them work equally well for this purpose so that I can leave the full updating process for later? In such a case, could you please tell which are exactly these necessary updates which can solve the problem? If, on the other hand, the problem has absolutely nothing to do with the updating of my operating system and browser, what do you think is its cause and what should I do then in order to be able to see and use the Handwriting feature of MSN Messenger? Thank you very much in anticipation of your cooperation and support and I am anxiously expecting your reply as soon as possible. Best wishes for the New Year! Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80918

    - problems saving chat history I have an extremely annoying problem. MSN Messenger v7.5 seems to pick and choose when it wants to save my chat history, which for work purposes, drives me crazy. When I first updated to 7.5 it seemed okay, and then started sometimes saving and sometimes not - not it has not saved any of my message for a week. I have checked my settings and save message history is still checked. Has anyone got any ideas if this is a bug (der!) and how it can be fixed? many thanks Alicia Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80901

    - Incoming Messages Delayed Messages coming to me from several of my contacts are being delayed, sometimes for hours. The strangest thing is that the message usually appears once I begin typing a message to the contact. I'm using MSN Messenger 7.0.0816 on Windows 2000 Pro. I do have an HTTP Proxy, which I have entered into the "Advanced Connection Options", and Testing the HTTP Proxy comes back almost immediately, saying the test was a success. I have even turned off the other connections (TCP and SOCKS) to see if that would help. Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80891

    - MSN Messenger (offline while online?) I've been having this problem over the last 2.5 days. It's not my computer because it happens to me on other computers, even ones with different versions of MSN. It does seem related to my account at least because others in my list aren't experiencing the issue with others, just with me. The issue travels with me from PC to PC. Sometimes people can see my status and talk to me. Sometimes they can't. At one stage I couldn't initiate a connection with someone but they could me. Now it's reversed and I can start conversations with people but they can't with me. Can someone please help me? Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80876

We have always been a family oriented outfit, you know the kind, walking, cinema, holidays etc etc but no the kids spend all day on messenger even though they might have spent the whole day at school with thier friends, they still feel the need to go on messenger to talk about what? Family life in our household has become intolerable, our youngest daughter is like a wild beast if she cannot get on messenger, all of my three kids fight like cat and dog if they cannot get onto one of the pc's in our house. I don't use messenger but I can see that it is a great communication tool but for God's sake please put in some measures to counteract the inbuilt anti family/anti social component.

    - Horrible Screeching Noise while using Video My mom bought me this camera for Christmas so that we could talk using MSN Messenger using the video feature. We both have the same exact camera - she bought two at the same time, one for me and one for her - Logitech QuickCam Cordless. What is happening is that we connect and there is this awful screeching noise and I cannot hear her. If she turns down her volume so that she can't hear me, I can hear her and there is no screeching noise. It appears that its only on my end. I have tried moving the speakers across the room from where my webcam is and also tried using a different pair of speakers but neither worked - still get the loud screeching noise. In addition, I tried changing the channel on the webcam to a different channel than what my mom's webcam was set at, but again, still had the screeching noise, but it changed some to a different tone. I'm at a loss as to what to do, any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- Thanks, Brandy Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80825

    - voice problem in video communication I'm having a problem with voice in a video conversation. When the video conversation connects, it works fine on the other end. On my end however, I get no voice. In fact, I get no sound at all (this inlcudes sound from nudges and winks). The video is fine on both ends and the second party can hear my voice. If I instead start a voice only conversation, I can hear the other party fine. I am using MSN Messenger 7.3.0322 (at both ends). I am behind a D-Link DL-614+ router. The second party is connected directly to a broadband modem. I am running XP SP2. My box is configured to use UPNP and the router handles UPNP. I even opened all UDP ports between 5004 and 65535 on the router. These are supposed to be the ports used by MSN Messenger. This had no effect. The hardware is working fine. I have gotten Yahoo Messenger to work (both audio and video). However, MSN Messenger has much better quality. I'd realy like to get it working. Has anyone seem this before? Thoughts?

    - MSN Messenger 7.5 crashes for one user only This problem has been happening for about a month, but I only got to try to debug it today. The PC is running Windows XP Pro, SP2. It has three users. One is has administrator privileges while the other two are limited accounts. One of the limited account users can not start up MSN Messenger. It comes up with the standard crash dialog box asking if you want to forward the error to Microsoft. After Messenger crashes in this way, it can still be seen as running using Task Manager (it is in some hung state). The other limited account user and the administrator user both run MSN Messenger fine. Things I have tried: - Log in as user on MSN Messenger on a different computer (works ok) - Log in as user on MSN Messenger on same computer, but using the administrator login (works ok) [It would appear that the user's messenger account is ok] - Uninstall messenger, download latest (7.7.0311), install (made no difference) - Remove user from Windows completely, create user from scratch (made no difference) - Remove all MSN Messenger related registry settings for user and restart (no difference) Has anyone seen this before?

    - Video & Single way audio problem... Hi, I'm having a similar problem to the problem reported with "no audio (one way) in video conversation". We've tried an voice conversation (ok). When we do a video conversation I can hear the conversation correctly. I can also adjust the volume bars in either the microphone or the speakers & mute and unmute and we can both see each other ok. However at the other end, they cannot hear me, the slider bar cannot be adjusted and the conversation will either appear as muted or unmuted, but in either case the volume is 0. I've been able to check their settings via remote assistance & also at the pc itself and it seems ok. They are using a DSL modem. A BT Voyager if I remember correctly. I'm using a router - I've enabled uPNP devices and a Hasbani IDG Gateway appear (although has now disappeared after reboot. I'm using a PTI-840 modem. both connecting to BT Yahoo Broadband. (bit worried as I've heard there are security issues with this). Do I need a static IP address? We're both using Outpost firewall and messenger has temporarily been added to trusted... I tried disabling my router firewall, but that made no difference. I'm using a Philips SPC700NC PC Camera. My friend a logitech pro 4000. I tried switching off the QoS setting as suggested in the previous thread & rebooting. to no avail. I don't think I can do port forwarding can I? and I don't think I can use a static IP address as I think BT service does it via DHCP??? Is the problem my side or at their end? I installed messenger 7.5 today (well last night). version 7.5.0.311. They've had messenger installed for a while. Could the problem be at their end? We're both on XPSP2 (me prof, them home). Any help would be useful. Many thanks & happy new year. Rich Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80782

    - removing 7.0 Some time ago, I upgraded from MSN Messenger 7.0 to 7.5 and all seems well. Earlier today, I went to my control panel to remove another program and noticed that Messenger 7.0 still listed on my system. I tried to remove it but couldn't. I wonder if this is because MSN 7.5 is still a beta--at least it was listed as such when I installed it--or does 7.0 have to remain on the system for some reason? Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80771

    - Kill it..... and make it stay dead! Hi all. Installed MSN messenger v7 to talk to my son remotely. I do NOT have it come up unless I start the program. After I shut down the icon memory stub in the toolbar, MSN still exists in memory and can be seen with the task manager. I can kill it there and it's gone. Later I come back and it's loaded itself in memory again. This does not make me happy. I run a hardened system with software and hardware firewalls. My Hosts file is 202K. No programs including Windows automatically check for updates. No programs load automatically when Windows starts other than sound/video drivers. All programs I bring up have to ask permission to get thru the firewall. I don't even let my ISP ping my system. Anyway, you get the idea. Can someone point out where to disable this in the registry? ~~~~~~ Bait for spammers: root@localhost postmaster@localhost admin@localhost abuse@localhost postmaster@[127.0.0.1] uce@ftc.gov ~~~~~~ Remove "spamless" to email me.

    - Can't access my hotmail mail Some time ago I started using MSN Messenger and discovered that I needed a Microsoft Passport, and for this I needed a Hotmail e-mail address (what a palaver, uS certainly excel at making a simple task complicated!) I don't use MSN Messenger very often but when I do it tells me that I have e-mail messages. However, when I click on the envelope icon to retrieve these messages I am taken to a web site that tells me about free newsletters and offers, but nothing about my hotmail account. (The URL, if it helps, is: http://newsletters.msn.com/hm/maintenanceenuk.asp?L=EN&C=UK&a=447e8e9a47ca91ccacb18aecac4ec245bdf9cb46322c572e0aba10d254183f56&P=WCSignup&ru=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2ehotmail%2emsn%2ecom%2fcgi%2dbin%2fsbox%3fcurmbox%3d00000000%252d0000%252d0000%252d0000%252d000000000001%26a%3d447e8e9a47ca91ccacb18aecac4ec245bdf9cb46322c572e0aba10d254183f56%26fromnl%3dy%26upsell%3dno%26wcs%3dy ) On this page there is a hotmail icon at the top (3rd from left) which is not a link, so I presume that is the page I am on, and there is also a set of tabs: "Today", "mail", "Calendar" and "contacts", but if I click on "mail" I just get taken back to exactly the same page. Now, I don't suppose there is anything very important in this mailbox, but for tidiness and to satisfy my curiosity it would be nice if I could get into it. Can anyone explain why I am unable to get to it. XPSP2, MSNM7.5. Thanks -- Dave Tag: version 7.5.0311 bug Tag: 80708

    - How to always make LAN file transfers fast? While I was testing out another problem (resolved now, thanks to great help here) I was reminded of another annoyance I have with MSN Messenger. I wanted to transfer a file from my laptop to this PC. The best way I have used is just via two MSN accounts, where it speeds across, directly from PC to PC, without going over the internet. I did that ages ago and it's terrific, but unfortunately it doesn't always work. It didn't work this time but I was sending it to an alternate MSN client (aMSN) but it often doesn't work and instead of ignoring the net and going via the LAN it crawls along. It's in part amusing and frustrating to see MSN say "Click here to see why transfers are slow" between a laptop sitting 6 inches from this computer. :D Is this problem due to me not having the very latest 6.2 on my laptop? Or is there some way to force MSN to tranfer files via the LAN and not go over the internet, when the two computers are on the same network? Thanks if anybody can help.

    - Help - how can I get 6.2 to work again? I had an issue for a while, whereby MSN Messenger would not go to Away properly which I spent today trying to fix. After removing and disabling lots of software (unnecessarily) and trying MSN 7, I found it was due to the screensaver being set to 1 minutes - even though I don't use it, and it was disabled. However, once I had found out the problem, I wanted to go back to using MSN 6.2. MSN7 is absolutely horrible, and the link at the bottom of the Window which I accidentally clicked on repeatedly (clearly that is the point of it) is enough in itself to make me never ever use it. Having uninstalled 7 and reinstalled 6.2, I was surprised and then extremely annoyed to have a popup stating that "to continue" I had to install MSN 7. This is utter nonsense. I had previously been using MSN 6.2, I _still_ can connect with 6.2 on my laptop, and I as of right now I am connected via aMSN, an alternative to MSN. Sorry for the long post but can somebody tell me how to enable me to use 6.2 again? Clearly, it's to do with me having installed 7, which must have placed traces of itself on my PC or in the registry. Whatever happens, I won't use 7, because it's awful. If I can't use 6.2 because of Microsoft outrageously trying to tell me what software I am allowed to use, then I'll use an alternative, or switch to a different system altogether.

    - no sound notification in Messenger 7.5 I installed Messenger 7.5 a couple of months with no problems with soun notifications and then several weeks ago, the sound quit working. I'v checked all the sounds and they are installed and show that they ar working; I have uninstalled and re-installed, all to no avail. I hav installed Messenger Plus and have sounds for contacts coming online etc., but the sounds for new messages, etc. still do not work.

I changed my passport password to 20 characters and hotmail will accept
it but Messenger only beeps because the password is too long. :-(
I want a secure password so how do I report this to Microsoft?

Greetings,

Generally it's recommended to keep your password under 12 characters for Messenger use.

Oh, the change passport password told me the strength of my password so
I made it 'Strong' and then kept typing for extra security. :-)

Messenger should should accept as much entry as passport allows. :-(
