I am unable to get into my msn messenger. my status is greyed out and when I try to sign in a messaage comes up saying signing in to .NET messenger service failed and asked if I am on the internet. My icon has the X meaning away or busy. Maybe somehow I disconnected it not sure what to do. I can still check my email on hotmail
What type of firewall program are you using? If you recently upgraded to SP2 and are using a third party firewall program then go into Control Panel and turn off the Windows Firewall. I don't see why MSN would be blocked by the Windows Firewall since they're both Microsoft products, but you never know and it does sound like a firewall issue to me.
Of course, I'm assuming you are using Windows XP. If not, what OS?
Check your
add/remove programs for .
NET framework. You might have to un-install messenger, re-install .
NET framework, then re-install messenger. See if others agree. Do you have SP2? When did this first start happening?
Post up a hijack this log, and we'll see if anything is running on your pc that shouldn't be.
I have since removed and reinstalled the messenger. Now when I click on icon to open nothing happens. I have checked the Service Status and it says all systems are stable and running. MSN Messenger 6.2 is what is installed.
The Msn Messenger box appears and when I click Sign In-nothing happens
Yes I went to start, control panel, and Security Center and disconnected firewall but still no go. In order to use hijackthis I need to download but not sure how to go about this. I used it before but I must have deleted for I cannot find it now. I will need help with this. I was using my messenger up to a couple of weeks ago but I noticed a few days ago that I could not access the messenger. Another thing is I always went on MSN to play crib and I have not been able to for months now. Hope you can help me.
I rebooted my puter and I have a Norton Internet Security notice re Medium Risk-Microsoft MSN Messenger is attempting to access the internet. I have checked the box to permit and still cannot and then I checked the Configure box and still no go. But Now when I attempt to use messenger a box comes up and the error is 0X81000365
