| Guest | Mesenger Log In Hi All It has been about 2 weeks that I have not been able to log onto Live Messenger. I have tried all sorts of fixes, uninstalling, deleting, re-installing, downgrading to different versions that then tell me I cannot use Messenger unless it is upgraded to the latest version. I have also searched the Web endlessly and tried different suggested registry fixes, deleted keys etc. I have also tried Jonathan Kay's registry patch, but all of this is no avail. I still cannot log on - All I get the endless BUDDIES rotation away, no messages as to what is happening Zilch information. I am running Vista Home Premium, and have been a Messenger user for years.... Anyone have any ideas how I can get this fixed, or do I need to do a full and total Vista reinstall? Any help is gratefully received. Kind Regards DAVID |

| Guest | RE: Mesenger Log In Since a few days ago I'm having the same problem as you, David. It looks like a software problem to me, because it occurs only on my desktop PC, while on laptop everything works great. Both PCs are conected to my same home network, both access Internet through my ADSL modem/router, both PCs are running Vista Ultimate. The only difference is that laptop connects to the router via wireless, while desktop uses UTP cable [I doubt this could be an issue]. As I said, the problem started like 3 days ago. While Skype and GoogleTalk still work fine, Live Messenger and ICQ just can't connect. Internet works just fine and logging to webmessenger still works fine. On laptop, all 4 IM programs [WLM, Skype, GTalk, ICQ] work perfectly. I tried reinstalling WLM, downgrading WLM, disabling Windows firewall, removing MSNMessenger registry folder, but it always happen the same on desktop PC: endless attempts to sign in, without any error message. Does anybody know how to solve this? Thanks Boban "Crispy500" wrote:

| Guest | Re: Mesenger Log In Boban, Thanks for that. My laptop still works fine with MSN too..... I understand the issues - It is very frustrating. Surely Microsoft are aware of this as it seems to be a common problem all over The Net and many have had the same issue. Why is Bill Gates not giving us a fix. At this rate, I will be migrating to Yahoo, or MirC in the very near future, as I am sure thousands and thousands of others will be.....

| Guest | Re: Mesenger Log In Boban, David, Hmm.. I unfortunately encountered this problem as well just now. Once I sign in to any of my accounts and see my contact list, an error would appear saying it needs to close but it does not have an error number. It says it could send an error report but I'm not sure if that works or not. Same as you guys I have a laptop as well and yes WLM works on my laptop. My laptop is Vista Basic and my computer is Windows XP. I've tried uninstalling but failed with no success. If you guys find a way to fix this problem, please share ASAP. Thank you in advance ![]() Kelvin "Crispy500" wrote:

| Guest | Re: Mesenger Log In Jonathan, It was a registry patch that I think intended to reset the Live Messenger settings to a zero state. I cannot at this time remember what the patch was/is called. "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" <msnewsreplies@xxxxxx> wrote in message news 3B0F1AB-D04C-41B7-8AEC-0D16AFD6DC12@xxxxxx
