Vista - MSN on Vista home 64 bits keeps disconnecting

Since 3 weeks ago, every time I start MSN Messenger it logs me in properly
and about 1 minute or 2 after I'm connected it breaks the connection and
start a 'trying to reconnect in ... seconds'

I have installed all the updates my system required, still no success.

I have search the web and solutions for my problem did not work. I have also
went to the MSN web site for changing my MSN password and still no progress.

On a forum it has been suggest that I remove MSN entirely et re-install it,
that's where I am now.

Any idea what else I could try ?

Can I try to install an older version of Messenger ?

Greetings Michel,

May one enquire as to what was happening prior to 3 weeks ago? For the sake of argument,
I'll assume nothing really changed, and this was working just fine.

That said, there could be a networking problem somewhere, for instance, you if you're using a
router, you may need to power cycle it (read as: unplug, plug back in).

Additionally, it would be helpful to know what Windows version you're using and what sort of
networking environment you're in (aka, routers, wireless, etc.).

Older versions are a possibly, and you may wish to try Live Messenger 2008 (8.5) to see if
the problem persists.
