Windows live messenger help?

Waaaaaaaaah!


I've got messenger, i've done everything I can think of, but the damn thing won't let me sign in. I put my name and password in, and then it just won't go any further, just highlights my email in blue (and yes it's correctly spelt etc) no ping, no 'we cannot sign you in' and no 'check email/password' type errors.

Any idea's anyone please

sorry pendle i've no idea! messenger can be a pain in the sometimes!! how many times have you tried? its just sometimes it plays up but then lets you in a few hours later? although this doesnt sound like that problem, ive no idea hopefully someone will beable to shed some light, i'll see if wingman knows of any reason why, he's not around at the moment though, so maybe some time.

it's been like this for FOUR days.....

Simple answer, make sure you caps lock isnt on.......

Not so simple answer........

1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that

the time and date are set.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:

regsvr32 softpub.dll

then click OK


Could be just a MSN fault though as they have been going through lots of changes lately

Cheers Wingman!

Unfortunately it's still not working

I'll try again another day

sorry pendle ive no other clue other than what wingman has already suggested. I suggest if it doesnt work again, can you not contact msn buy a different email?

I was having the same problem a week or so back. I didn't do anything to it but it seemed to sort itself out. Thankfully too as I think it was Tixy I almost stood up....or did she stsand me up another time?
Good Luck!!!

have you tried going into MSN this way

http://uk.msn.com/

You got it working yet pendle?

I think you'll find that MSN are having a lot of problems of late, theyve had a major update, and not everything works as it should just yet. Thats the only problem with the net, because its 24/7, you can never really turn it off for very long to check it works right... Im sure they will sort it sooner rather than later.

Nope it still doesn't work, I can get on hotmail, and I can use web messenger, but not messenger on my 'puter

although i know nothing about this sort of thing,to me it sounds as though it's your pc having conflictions with MSN and not them. Looks like you need to uninstall messenger and download and reinstall it again. is it the latest version? pplus have you got your firewall on?

probs best leaving this one to wingman! LOL

Yeah - done all that, Claire.... maybe someone is telling me to do some work insted of chatting

hi pendle, ive no clue of the answer! sorry. just letting you know that we have now moved to here www.spiritcharms.co.uk you should have had an email telling you so and info on what to do next?
