Hi Sensation. First of all, please turn off your CAPS lock. All caps are usually reserved for SHOUTING! 😉

Ok, so you want to use Messenger 5, eh? Tell us a little more about your environment. What OS are you running? Windows 98? 2000? XP? Are you currently running any version of Messenger successfully? Which version? If so, upgrading should be pretty straightforward.

Generally the connection settings will match Internet Explorer and don’t need to be fiddled with unless your behind a proxy or firewall of some sort. Are you??

Hi BlueGurlOne. What seems to be the problem with Messenger v5? Does it not connect? What exactly happens? What kind of problems do you have?

I was having the same problem. And I look on the internet no one have the solution.
After that I checked the registry and I found the problem

Go to Start > Run> and type> regedit
Then go to
My computer >HkEY_CURREENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>MessengerService

And check the Key “Server” you will find messenger.hotmail.com;255.255.255.255:1863

it must be like that messenger.hotmail.com;207.46.104.20:1863
Have Fun. 😎

Hiya!!, I just figure out the problem!!, I cant belive i missed it in the first place, It was a problem with my FireWall, I tried to un-installed a while ago, but it would keep running in the backround, so yeah, thanx!!
