    Re: Signing in just goes on forever but no error

    HI, i've started to have this issue and i've tried all sorts of things to get
    it back tow ork... and after trying to sign in for like 20 mins it finally
    pops an error saying that its having issues connecting to the internet...but
    obviously.. my computer can connect to it... and i've been able to use MSN on
    this laptop before...



    one day i signed off and since then it wont let me sign in again.. i dunno
    why.

    im weary about using that because this topic was from the yr 2006 and well
    it could be outdated. Im using a Dell laptop with windows vista and the
    latest MSN with MSN Plus!

    Greetings,

    Just to quickly isolate where the problem might be, try signing into another Messenger
    account (if you don't have one, just go sign up for a Hotmail account). Assuming that
    yielded the same result, try making a new account within Windows, then login to that new
    account and try your existing Messenger account in that Windows profile.

    That'll at least answer a few questions to isolate specifically what you can do to "reset"
    Messenger in either your Windows profile or otherwise, as that's usually what causes this
    behaviour.
