| | WLMessenger and Proxy It appear that i can't post attachments here.. so.. i re-post without it -------------------------- This is my all time problem At work, employees are not allowed to use WLMessenger, see YouTube webpages, etc, etc.. so there is corporate firewall. Some people (like me) still need that blocked stuff, so there is a Pc that runs out the firewall. That pc has a proxy, so we can use it with credentials Wen i use it, I can see every webpage that i want on Internet Explorer and Firefox. I can use WLMail (Newgroups, Email and Rss) and Weather gadget (yes, the gadget ask me my credentials and works) Regard instant messaging i can use Digsby and aMSN.. but can't use WLMessenger I have this problem since MSN Messenger 7.1 and (i guess) that was the time for the IE proxy integration Now, i install MSN Messengr 7.0 (must be elevated as admin and Vista compatibility) and just can't login. It shows the "A newer version is available" dialog, it dissapear (the dialog) and just freeze the app The error is the classic 80072745 If the proxy were the problem then i was unable to use it at all |

| | Re: WLMessenger and Proxy Hey SuNcO, I believe 7.5 did add the current proxy integration (there was no 7.1). 7.0 isn't supported on Vista at all, but it does work. However, you do not need it to run as administrator rights. Simply popping open \Program Files\MSN Messenger and setting the compatibility to msnmsgr.exe to be XP should be good enough. If that doesn't work, perhaps other options might be advisable, like turning off IE proxy option prior to loading and signing into Messenger and then turning it back on (this can be done programmatically rather easily, assuming there's no GPO or registry permissions set to block this from happening). -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "SuNcO" <sunco007@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:unAM3w66JHA.1764@xxxxxx It appear that i can't post attachments here.. so.. i re-post without it -------------------------- This is my all time problem At work, employees are not allowed to use WLMessenger, see YouTube webpages, etc, etc.. so there is corporate firewall.
