Hello,
my msn messenger doesn't work... after updating to messenger beta when I try to sign in... a box appears with the don't send option....
I have tried to remove msn from the system but is impossible... I can't find it in the control panel.... When I remove it manually it still recognizes it and I can't install some other version becouse its older then the present one...
help me please... what should I do...???

I hate this F'ing program. Mine won't sign me in, says I'm not connected to the internet. Don't know how I am writing this right now. This stupid Vista and other MS components have made me feel computer illiterate since I purchased this new laptop. Makes me want to by a Mac, and I hate Macs. Maybe Google should make an OS for PC's.

Have you got this program?

Nvidia Network Access Manager!!

If so uninstall it and the new messenger will work.

am getting a problem with it where every week or two, it gives me error 81000803 (i think it is, meaning it cant resolve host file names, and i have tried ALL THE ADVICE but dosnt help)
so i found i could generally re-instal it, however sometimes like now..
THAT too dosnt work.
what seems to be happening is when i try to instal the installer tells me i ALREADY HAVE IT INSTALLED and i dont, i know this becuase i went to addd or remove programmes and removed it myself! AND went into programme files and removed all the leftover rubbish.. YET it still tells me it is in here some where,
if it is, then why cant i see it to remove it.. and if it is gone, why why why WONT IT RECOGNISE it?

am on xp sp3 and trying to re-instal latest 2009 live messenger

Ask a question
Hey, this happens to me too. But what I do is either go to a website that is the exsact same thing all you have to do is sign in! I recomend www.meebo.com or www.ebuddy.com.

Easy solution FOR VISTA

go on >computer > program files > (whatever messenger you have) > Uninstall > there's a ""repair"" option.

This may sound slightly odd but do you have zwinky downloaded somewhere on your computer?
I had the same problem a while ago and found out it was to do with zwinky which affects your msn. If so uninstall it and see if it makes a difference. (:

hey,
the same problem happened to me and i couldnt solve it myself in any way until i found the solution online.
you just have to click start, then run, and then type the following: msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C}
this will automatically uninstall your messenger. then all you have to do is go to the msn.com website, click on messenger, then install, it will display this time that you dont already have the messenger program and it will install it again for you,
cheers

ONE VERY STUPID BUT MAIN PROBLEM OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SIGN INTO MESSENGER IS, YOUR COMPUTER DATE AND TIME ISNT SET CORRECTLY . WHEN YOU SET IT HOW IT SHOULD BE, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SIGN IN ON MSN .

Download: Zapmessenger

Google it. It completely removes everything from msn messenger.
Hope it helped.

I would suggest downloading version 7.5, just anything before 8.0, it works. All your contacts settings etc are save except for the avatar picture :)
