Re: Windows Live Messenger Sign In error

Hi Dru,

You might check your firewall settings to make sure that Windows Live Messenger is allowed (added) as an exception. If your using Windows Firewall, then see: How to Add or Delete an Exception in Windows Firewall in Vista for how.

If this does not help, then try uninstalling Windows Live Messenger, then reinstalling it. Make sure that you have the latest version to. See: Windows Live Suite Downloads

Re: Windows Live Messenger Sign In error

Dru,

I'm sorry. I not up on all the new lingo yet. Does got me stuffed mean that your Messenger is up and running again, or that your stuck without it working?

Re: Windows Live Messenger Sign In error

Dru,

It's got me stumped to. You might try another messenger program that is compatible with MSN to see if it will work for you. Trillian is a good alternative.
