MSN 6.0.0268 locks up on startup

[ang212]

I have downloaded the new MSN 6 about 15 times, it downloads fine, I remove my MSN 5 and everything, I've done everything there is do to make it work, and every time I sign in, it tries signing in for about 20 seconds, then locks up. I then push Ctrl Alt Delete and it says it's not responding. It does this every time!!!
Is there anything I can do, and if not, what is the problem??? This is very frustrating!

Thanks,
Andria

Hi:
I have the same problem, it locks up...I had the beta version and it worked fine, just downloaded the "preview" and now is all messed up just hangs and then says program not responding

I've installed 6.0.0268 on four computers, all running Windows XP Pro. The first two installed fine; no problems whatsoever. The second two are experiencing the same symptoms you describe.

The initial screen opens fine, and when I sign in, it appears to start working but before my contact list loads, the entire window goes complete white and just hangs.

I'm stumped. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, removing Windows Messenger, etc. but no luck so far. Anyone else seen this problem, and more importantly, found a solution?

I unistalled the the MSN 6 Preview and installed again the beta and it worked just fine. After running the beta i tried to installed the Preview again and this time it worked ....i dont try to do the same thing and see if that helps

try port forwarding on port (1863? whatever the MSN main port is) if you have a router. I tried it and now MSN works fine!!
