| | Live Messenger 2009 disconnects immediately upon connecting I've just updated to Live Messenger 2009, much to my dismay it may seem. It will connect, display my list of contacts for about 2 seconds, and then disconnect. I have not succeeded in getting it to stay connected. Now, for a bit of info about the environment. I'm running on XP Professional SP2. I'm behind the company proxy and firewall, and while this has always crippled my Messenger connection to some degree (earlier versions would stay connected, but every once in a while stop recieving and delivering messages, the solution for which was logging off and then back on) I've at least been able to stay logged in. My question is, is this something that can be fixed by me, or has the way Live Messenger 2009 connects to the network changed in such a way that the firewall now disables the application completely? |

| Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 | Re: Live Messenger 2009 disconnects immediately upon connecting I've been having the same problem of connecting then instantly disconnecting. Even more, Messenger crashes instantly when I'm signed in. No chance to even click anything. Been searching for solutions for days now. Nothing seems to work... Help!

| | Re: Live Messenger 2009 disconnects immediately upon connecting I still don't have a solution. Other MSN clients stay online, only WLM disconnects. I haven't changed anything on my system, though i'm using wireless internet, I don't know what's happening at the other end. If there's any solution, please notify me.
