I’ve been having alot of problems installing and running Msn 6.0. I’ve tried downloading the program numerous times, but whenever I tried to sign in, a notice would come up saying that there is a problem with my connection and to please check that I am connected (I have a dial-up modem) to the internet. My connection’s fine though! I tried uninstalling Msn 6.0 and installing Msn version 4.6. The older version works fine but I keep on running into the same problem with 6.0 AND 5.0. I’d really appreciate it if somebody would help me! Thanks in advance.
By the way, I have Windows 98.
Actually, I’ve had problems with firewalls before too. A couple of months ago when I first tried to run 6.0, it worked fine, but after a couple of weeks it said that there is a firewall or something on my computer and to reset my proxy settings. I never solved the problem, so I just reinstalled windows 98 again and downloaded Msn 4.6, it worked then and I never got the problem with the firewall again. The thing is, I dont remember ever installing a firewall or a similar program on my computer, so unless a firewall came built in with a program that I might have downloaded, I dont think I have one.
i’m not sure if this will help but heres microsofts explanation of a few possible problems with connecting.
I had the same problem with MSN Messenger 6.0. I fixed my problem by:
Downloading: Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1, go to http://www.microsoft.com, download it from there,save it to your desktop, install it, then re-installed MSN Messenger 6.0 and it should work, unless you have different problems that me.Does anyone know anything about Norton Sytem Works 2003? It want let me download the Norton Utilities part of the software. Can someone help me.
{EDIT – The above is completely off topic and should not be asked or answered here, instead please post in the Off Topic forum – I suggest Random Ramblings. This Forum is for MSN Messenger related questions only. Thanks.}There is another msn messenger signed in thats why YOU cant sign in !! so uninstalll the old msn and try it maybe it will work;)
How do you uninstall the old MSN though? I looked for it in the add/remove progams list in Control Panel and it’s not in there.
Me604 – Two problems with your theory.
1. MSN Messenger installs new versions on top of itself. Unless you manually renamed the old MSN Messenger installation folder, it is not possible to have an older version as well.
2. If you sign-in on a different Messenger while signed in at another location, it signs-out the other location and you sign-in at the new location.I don’t think this is the solution to the problem these members are dealing with.

why is it that the firewall could be blocking the connection?
I guess it crush because you have another passport with window messenger, i’m using Window XP as well, itz giving me lots of problem as well. Because Window Messenger comes together with XP. Go to http://www.msn.com and search by msn version 6 to dl. Thatz all i can help, i’m not an expert to computer.
You can run Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger at the same time, but not with the same account. If you are logged in with one of the two and then log in with the other using the same account, you’ll be logged out of the first. I often have both Windows Messenger and MSN Meesenger (6.1 beta) on at the same time with different account, and I’ve never had any problems.
