cant anyone help me with my problem? my problem is... with my one account... I cant log in... it takes forever trying to connect, then it just returns to the log in screen with no error message or anything. but the cursor becomes the arrow with an hour glass beside it wen I hold it over the MSN window. but I can log in with anyone of my other friends files and with my other one as well. I can check my emails on that account but I cant log onto it.

rathma,

Since yesterday, it hasn't been too good of a time for us to suggest anything really, since the service is down temporarily. In the mean time we can only suggest to be patient and wait for the service to be back up and running properly, then we may be able to give a proper analysis and determine better what the problem possibly is.

Please view this thread for more information on the service being down:

I had the same issue.
I first removed all plugins (msn loader, MSN plus 3...)
I ended up moving to Windows messenger, and that kept crashing...
Then I moved to Trillian, and it wouldn't connect to MSN.
I removed all messenger programs and removed their entries from the regstry, then reinstalled MSN messenger.
That didn't work out.

Then I tried web messenger and that wouldn't work.

I ended up reformatting my hard disk and everything is great now.

An extreme solution, but a solution nonetheless.....
if you are frustrated, it works.

Hi, my MSN keeps crashing, it happens whenever I click the option to send webcam, or audio, and the annoying thing is , it also crashes when people send me audio or webcam.
Does anyone know whats wrong, or how to fix this?

Im still having this problem

Try the following:

-run through the webcam/audio wizard.
-uninstall via add/remove. Now reinstall a fresh copy from http://messenger.msn.com/
-if the above still does not work, try downloading the beta version from http://messenger.msn.com/beta
-report us if when you recieve the invitation or send it, what error message you recieve, or if Messenger (or Windows) just becomes unstable and freezes.

There is no message, it just crashes straight away.
