Any msn whizzes out there?.... plz help me

Have you tried reinstalling it? or downloading the older version? http://www.filehippo.com/download_msn_messenger/ look on the right hand side, worth a try.

 

Thanks

 

No problem, im not saying it will definatly work but its the easiest thing to try.

If that doesnt work put that error code into google and it will bring up some other suggestions to try, but beware it will all go over your head if your not clued up on pc's!, but you should be able to follow what it says and hopefully sort it if the above doesnt work.

 

when it happened to me i reported it too msn and they where quite helpful in trying to sort it out, i did get impatient though and just started a new msn account instead

 

Shouldnt have to resort to that, google is your friend

 

Live Messenger is a major pain in the arse. If you have AVG installed, the latest update breaks the camera functionality. If you don't agree to install some of the additional Live components, the MSN function doesn't work because the cab files don't get copied over!!!.

Installed Skype, better webcam, job done. Bloody MSN.

 

Tried to download the old msn, but says i need to get rid of the latest version for it to give me the old one, i dont know how to get rid of the latest one I'm useless at these things! lol

 

Sorry i was assuming you knew how to uninstall it.

Go into control panel, then add/remove programmes, find messenger live and uninstall it

 

ok....may take me 5 hrs, but i'm on to it

 

Ok, i just want my old msn back or else i really will cry lol

Tried lookin for it in control panel n its not in there, WTF is goin on

 

add and remove programs in your control panel it should be there gembab cos thats what i did to remove most your crap off your laptop

 

if you really cant find it search for it on the search option on the start menu and it should bring it up

 

Here it is on windows xp, if you got vista i think it should still be in control panel, i cant remember i havent used vista for a long time.

 

yea she's got vista it is there cos i used it not long ago lol

 

 

Yaaaaaaaaaaay!.....somehow found it, but thanks u two

I use to have one of those Dell pc's which had xp, i miss that loads but parents decided to scrap the pc....along with the printer, which i find myself needing more these days too
I got Vista on my laptoppy tho

 

THATS IT!!!....i'm a woman on the edge now.....
Just uninstalled the lastest version, to install the old version again, only to be forced AGAIN to install the latest version! noooooooooooooooooooooooo nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo

 

go to http://www.oldapps.com/msn_messenger.php, it on there gembab just look for the one you want if you can remember what one was on your laptoppy last time

 

Shouldnt force you, ive got a slightly older version of windows live messenger and it just says upon signing in "a newer version is available" or something like that, then it goes away.

 

she's downloading it from MSN itself i think she won't have or be able to find the old install on her comp thats why i gave her the oldapps link so she can just download it straight off there

 

Ok when i had this problem it was mainly down to the 1 of the 2 things i'll mention. 1st was MSN didn't like how the Router was setup. So i had to login to the router and downgrade the firmware in order to MSN to work. 2nd was the router started a firewall that didn't allow any messenger software to work. So you'll have to do the same and downgrade the firmware for the Router. The new MSNs are shite. I suggest you use Digsby.

 

Eh :S

Got no luck out of that site neither looks like i'm dooooomed for life n may aswell use e-buddy.com. Noooooooooooooo
