    Messenger Not Connecting?

    Whenever I use messenger, it always shows me offline, and shows all my friends offline. I have tried the Email version, and the downloaded version. I have also tried many different emails. I have no clue what's going on. It's been like this for months.

    Hi Michael

    Can you please run "Remove CCntctDb.reg" on your computer
    and then try to log on to MSN.
    If it doesn't help, you can restore the values ​​with "Restore CCntctDb.reg".

    I hope this will help

    I ran the first one, and it is still doing the same thing.

    Hi Michael

    I'm sorry not to have responded earlier,
    but I was very busy the last days.
    Maybe you can take a look at this post,
    and follow the steps.
    Please let us know how it went.

    The first part didn't seem to work. I couldn't do the second part since it says go to the 'Tools' menu, which I do not see.

    Michael, do you use Hotmail ?
    If so, try to login via the Messenger option, located directly under your browser tabs bar in Hotmail, please use Internet Explorer.
    Check what your status is, and the status of your contacts.

    It seems to be working in there. I don't know if it works in Chrome though, but I will try.
