Vista - Problems connecting in one computer

04-03-2008

I use the 8.1 live messenger. One afternoon, it simply stopped logging in. It
doesn't give an error message, it just stays forever trying to connect. I've
changed the password, reinstalled it and nothing works. I've created a new
hotmail account and in the exact same computer I was able to log in. I've
actually used the Plus feature to allow signing in two separate accounts, and
while I was able to log in in the new one, the old one just kept trying to
connect. At home, in another computer, I was able to log in just fine. I
don't know what to try. Appreciate any help possible.

Greetings Joe,

As a first step, upgrade to Live Messenger 8.5:
http://get.live.com/messenger/config

Plus will continue working.
