So I'm sorry if anybody else posted or if this is solved already (I'd be quite happy, actually), but at least I searched.

Anyway.
About almost an year ago, when I formatted my hard drive, WLM09 worked fine. One day, it suddently didn't anymore. It connected fine, in the same time as before, everything working fine. And then, some seconds later, either I did something or not, it would just disconnect. No error, no nothing, just a disconnect, without even trying to reconnect. And it would happen over and over again.

I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything in the computer, nor on the firewall, nor on the router. Just nothing.
Other versions worked fine. I had been using MSN 8.5 until today.
So, today, as most of you probably know already, Microsoft forced the update to WLM09, so you can't use MSN anymore.

So I faced the nemesis, and installed WLM09 again. And again, the same problem.

Any solutions?

I'm using the latest version of WLM on both machines.

If i'm signed on with my deskto at home, I can't stay signed on with my laptop. I am able to sign in, it tells me I'm signed on in two places, I'm able to click sign of on home-PC, but then after about 20 seconds it kicks me off.

If i sign off on my home-pc, the problem goes away. I can't do this, however, because I am not at home.

Any ideas? ]]> Windows Live Messenger Support wesbos@gmail.com http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/windows-live-messenger-support/48271-wlm-signs-me-out-if-im-signed-home.html over-heating http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/windows-live-messenger-support/48269-over-heating.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:51:57 GMT I have been avoiding using the newest version of WLM because it makes my laptop over heat.
Last night it forced me to install the newest version or I couldn't sign in. Sure enough, I have the same problem. My laptop will get so hot after just a few minutes of running Windows Live Messenger that it restarts.

I need to discover / understand something very important for me. I have added an yahoo account in my messenger list on my both accounts. I have two different accounts with different names. My 1st account My 2nd account Hello everyone.

I need to discover / understand something very important for me.
I have added an yahoo account in my messenger list on my both accounts.

I have two different accounts with different names.

My 1st account
My 2nd account

I added with my 1st account and 2nd account the person xxxx.
I attached a *.jpeg image to clear things out.

After you guys read what's in the *.jpeg picture, please read below:

Or there's a... idk... fourth situation ? I didn't count them.
The xxxx person could have me ignored me before my add request, and after I send the add request from my 1st account, he didn't get the pop up message that I want to add him, 'cause he had me on ignore list and let's say that after I send the add request, he removed my from his ignore list (and that's why explains that I still remain with add request pending and explains why I got the add request back from the xxxx person on my 1st account).

And ofc, I allowed him (the xxxx person) to add my both accounts (1st account and 2nd account).

But again, there's another thing, In that time that the xxxx person added me I couldn't be in his ignore list, 'cause the program dosen't let someone to add a person who is on his ignore list. But again, there are many ways that he could of add me, and idk the correct one. And I will say once again, my goal is to know if that person ignored me on my 1st account or not.

I deleted the xxxx person from my 1st account and add it back, and I still get the add request peding, but the person logs once a month, or even more...
Isn't suppose to be a message that if I am in the xxxx's ignore list, after I add the person xxxx the yahoo server to tell me that I can't add that person because I am in his ignore list ? Isn't suppose to be a message like that, or isn't there a way to find out ? I just did that test with other accounts and even if I add the person xxxx while I am in his ignore list, I still get the add request pending, but I don't get any message like for example I can't add that person because whether I am in his ignore list, or the server dosen't let me add that person.

I know that for some of you this problem may sound more than a little bit wierd, or stupid you guys could say, but for me it's a huge interrest because that person is my love and I could do everything I have in my power to be with her.

And excuse me for my bad english, it's not my first language nor my second, but i'm trying to learn it more and more.

Thank you in advance.

Ayer me uní al grupo de gente que tiene acceso a la preview de Google Wave, y que aún no sabe muy bien qué hacer con eso. El caso es que hoy accedí a la cuenta y recibí este original mensaje de que el servicio estaba cerrado por mantenimiento.

Se trata de una animación creada con jQuery, la popular librería JavaScript, que nos muestra una vista playera y unos pies en primer plano, como si estuviéramos tumbados en la arena, en una tranquila orilla, a la espera de que los vientos traigan nuevas “olas” sobre las que poder cabalgar. El mensaje dice:
No hay surf, tío. Google Wave está cerrado por mantenimiento. Hora de “rela-calmarse”
Aunque han sido sólo unos minutos, y al momento estaba de nuevo operativo, el mensaje de mantenimiento sigue siendo accesible, por si queréis verlo en movimiento.
