Vista - Messenger Not Working In Vista

I installed the latest version of Messenger and upon loading it crashes,
here are the details:

Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: msnmsgr.exe
Application Version: 8.1.178.0
Application Timestamp: 45b12d6a
Fault Module Name: unknown
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000
Exception Offset: 087c6330
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Data: 00000008
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 3081

Additional information about the problem:
LCID: 1033

Any ideas what it causing this?

Greetings,

Did you ever manage to sign in, or has it never worked?

Since I installed Vista I can not sign in to messenger either. Sometimes it
fails with a message and when I go to trouble shoot I get a ports error.
When I run repair it says it is fixed but still will not sign in. Other
times it just stays on the Signing in screen with the two figures rotating
all night. The only fire wall I am running at the moment as I set
everythign up and transfer files is the Windows Firewall and that says that
Messenger has full permitions. I am however useing a router but that never
caused a problem with XP.

There is a simple cure...........

..

Remove Vista and install XP Pro.

I can sign in but about 5 seconds later it crashes. I think it may have
something to do with Flash as mentioned in an earlier post.

Hi,

Is there no other solution to use msn messenger than removing Vista?
Vista was on the computer when I bought it....
How long will we have to wait to be able to use msn messenger on vista? will
it be possible on day?

Thank you in advance for your answer

I have got a solution to this from my IT Director at work for my problem. I
will post it here in case it is of any use to anyone else.

Run CMD as an administrator (type cmd in the serch pain in the start menu
then right click the icon in the and select Run as administrator). Then
type or paste in the the follwing:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

It worked for me, so hopfully will do so for anyone else. Obvioulsy take it
under advisement before you do it as I personaly don't know how it fixes my
problem.

Matt.
