i would really appeciate it if any of you guys could help me with my messenger. it won't let me connect anymore. i think it has something to do with proxy settings, which i knore nothing about. i'm connected to dsl through a router which splits connection between me and my roomy. the box that says "I use a proxy server" is unchecked. please help me.........i don't know what to do without my messenger. i want to sleep forever.

i think it might be because you are using msn messenger, probably.

try to connect to a clientless msn, like www.wbmsn.net if you can maybe you should re-install msn. Else there is something wrong with your passport?

I had problems connecting to MSN this morning. It kept telling me that the service was incompatible with the version of Messenger, or some such thing.
I downloaded an XP update (Windows Update, non critical section - Windows Messenger 4.7 upgrade for something or other) and it worked. Had to fiddle with the options afterwards cos it reset my config, but that was the work of 60 seconds.

MS is on a mission as of yesterday to disallow third party IM clients. Maybe it's effecting older versions as well...

in your internet explorer go to Tools, Internet options, connections, LAN settings and check if you have a proxy specified there.
If you do, copy your settings accross to msn

ive had this problem.
what you need to do is unplug your wires, slowly lift up the computer and walk towards the nearest window. You may need some assistance. Get your partner to open the window, and without looking below, throw the machine as far out of the window as you can.

thanks for all the replies, i really appreciate it. it seems that my messenger decided to start working again. however, my internet explorer doesn't work now. i've tried reinstalling the newest version of ie, and even reseting the default settings. now i'm stuck using netscape.
