Hello all!
I have been having this problem for a very long time, but it comes and goes. A brief synopsis:
around may:
we get new ISP at my unit. I lose connectivity to MSN Messenger.Soon after that I DL newest build and things work great.
1 month later:
Same problem. Again, new version corrects the issue.about 3 or 4 weeks ago:
MSN won’t connect. Try new version (not 7.5) still no go. On crackpot psycho brainstorm, I try “jumpstarting” the connection with windows messenger. Works great for like a week. Now, when I connect to MSN, whether or not I use the Jumpstart method, it will take a long time to log in, and then INSTANTLY log me back out and say “Connection to MSN Messenger service has been lost. Reconnecting in xx seconds” (xx is the random amount of time it waits to reconnect). It will do this all day if I let it.I tried all the advice in one of the other threads, which I seem to be unable to locate at the moment. Including one piece of crackpot advice that ended up being the key to deleting Windows messenger! That person should be spanked or bitten, cause he didn’t say “windows messenger” when he described what I would be deleting. I thought I was deleting trace elements of MSN messenger that the Add/Remove Programs feature didn’t take care of. That really burns me because now I have absolutely no way of talking to several friends and business contacts in real-time.
Other people in my platoon who are connecting less directly than I am to the internet have no problem with their MSN messenger. The MSN support staff has been equally ineffective in handling this situation.
Brief System specs:
P4 3.06GHz
512 MB RAM
Win XP Pro / SP2 / IE 6
Satellite ISP
ZoneAlarm Pro Security Suite
Adaware SE PersonalI’m sure people will ask if they need to know more about those specs than I gave.
