WLM has stopped working, giving me a 81000306 error.
I uninstalled it, installed 7.5 and that works fine. tried installing WLM again and, again, it gives me the same error. I know there are issues with ZA and pics, file transfers and so on, but i don’t think this problem has anything to do with it as it worked before and also because i uninstalled ZA and installed it again…and WLM still didnt work, while 7.5 does
any idea or suggestion? thanks
Hello lella,
Make sure you have installed the latest available updates for your operating system. For Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, website.
If you are using a firewall, make sure that MSN Messenger is allowed full access through the firewall. For more information, see the firewall documentation.
Verify the Advanced Connection settings for MSN Messenger.
If your computer is part of a corporate network, contact your network administrator to make sure that the network allows access to the MSN Messenger service.
If you use a dial-up connection, the connection may be timing out. Try to connect again later.
Also i advise you to see with the windows FireWall to see if the MSN is authorised to connect if yes try to see if the PORT# : 1080 is authorized to be used .
Normally your problem doesn’t go beyond these probabilities.
Good luck 😎
thank you for your answer
I found out what the problem is: it is the IM security of ZoneAlarm, i thought about checking their forum after i posted here and there i saw there are loaaaaaaaaaaads of people with the same problem. Solutions? None, until they put their act together:o Charming, from something i paid good squids for 😡
