hey, my msn is really screwed, i followed all the instructions and it tells me that the service is temporarly unavailable…help me pleez
Quote:quote:it tells me that the service is temporarly unavailable…We all get this from time to time, even when the .NET status IS available. I actually had this problem a few days ago. Let it stand for a few minutes. Then try again. It took me about 60 minutes before it allowed me to sign back in. Just give MS some space to breathe.
Hello guys,
i’m new to this useful forum ! 😀
I want to suggest a possible solution to the problem of “signing in” MSN Messenger 6.0. Basing on the messages posted here and on my personal experience i can say that the problem is situated in system registers. There is a sort of confusion of parameters when you install MSN Messenger 6.0 after you have installed a previous version ora a version of Windows Messenger (like 4.7). I have tried to delete the register key “MyComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftMSNMessenger” as suggested here, but it doesn’t work in my winXPpro. The error message in my case is: “…service unavailable…”.
So i have found a trick to cheat the system register in winXPpro: create a new user account administrator, then connect with this new account and HERE install MSN Messenger 6.0, after having closed any other version of the program. I could not believe, but IT WORKED! Not only in this new account but also in the other i used before!! It is clear that doing so you force WinXP to install the system register keys related to MSN Messenger 6.0 in a different position and this fact seems to solve the problem, at least in my case :D!!!
Ok that’s all.
Bye
I reinstalled XP Pro and tried msn 6 beta but it wouldn’t work. MSN 5 and Windows messenger both worked, just not 6. I kept browsing through forums and saw that many people have the same problem but no solution. Well I finally found the solution. The year was wrong on my clock. It read 2002. I changed it to 2003 and now it works!! This fixes the MSN explorer problem too…
This solved my problem!!! It was the date that was wrong all the time! Im well chuffed now!! Ive got msn 6!! 😀
hey guys!
actually im using winXP and since i installed msn messenger 6 windows messenger or any version of msn messenger wouldnt sign in, i’ve adjusted the time and i removed the past versions of msn messenger ,disabled norton anti virus and i have no firewall progs,and i even tried to do the registry thing but nothing has changed 🙁the error message says that msn 6 could not sign in because theres an error in the service or that theres a problem in the internet connection !!
but the messenger was working last week and im suffering from this problem since one week:(
plz help me…Hello all, I am new here but saw the problems that some were having and wanted to help and to ask questions.:D
I recently installed WinXP and then MSN6 and began having problems. MSN4.7, which installed with the OS, works fine, but ver.6 would not allow a sign in. I got the error that stated it was unable to connect to the SOCKS proxy server. Since MSN4.7 worked I decided to do some comparisons.
In the setup for MSN6, I found that the section under TOOLS/OPTIONS/CONNECTION has a tick box for “I use a proxy server” and the box was checked. Also, the selcetion for ‘Type’ was set to ‘SOCKS Version 4’.
In the setup for MSN4.7, this box was NOT checked.
So, in MSN6 I UN-CHECKED the box and tried to sign in…and it works fine!OK This is really bugging me now. I haven’t been to sign in for 4 days on my main E-mail account now, I get the ‘Signing in to .NET Messenger Service failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later’ Thingy.
I’ve tryed all the solutions in this thread and nothing has solved it. I can’t sign into; MSN Messenger 5 or 6, or even Windows Messenger. I can still sign into hotmail.com to get my E-mail and I have changed my password twice. Another thing is though I can still sign into all MSN Messengers with all of my other E-mail addresses, but this leaves me with none of my contacts as they are all on my main account.
Anyone with the same problem? Or a solution please reply.
Cheers _z!{EDIT – removed formatting for readability}yo Zool, you are not the only one that have that problem.. i cant as well not sign in and i got the same problem as you and i got some spyware s**t installed at the same time that i got the sign in problem, i tried ad-aware and 2 other spyware remover and i have tried to remove msn 6.0 and edit the regedit. i got the problem after i visit the mess.de and downloaded msn plus. help does anyone know what we can do??
{EDIT – formatting removed for readability}Okay, this is for everyone who is having troubles getting into MSN 6. I now have the problem that my .NET service is not recognized on my coputer, so when I sign in it says that my password is incorrect, or the name does not exist. Also, I get a 404 error when I try and get into my e-mail. I have no firewall, proxy, my time is correct, blah, blah, blah, and I’ve tried everything that’s posted on this forum at least twice. But I HAVE found out a way to get into my MSN account and talk to people WITHOUT MSN messenger. It’s a preogram called apni.net messenger, and it can be found from this link: http://www.apni.net/content/downloads/im.shtml
i hope this helps soothe some of the MSN pain that I’ve been having, too.Can someone please find a solution? Using Zone Alarm as a server worked for a while but now it won’t anymore, and deleting registry keys wouldn’t work. MSN tech support wouldn’t provide me with any feasible solutions and now they’ve stopped responding.
when I try to log onto my msn it says stuff about no direct internet, i use aol!! also i can not access hotmail.com or msn.co.uk to try and download it again, i am using 6.0 and have no previous number installed!! what should i do i hav windows xp
my problem is that whenever i try to sign on to msn 6.0 using windows xp it tells me i am behind some sort of fire wall. it mentions proxy settings and ‘LAN’ but i dont understand these! its strang because i dont actually have a firewall…can anybody help please!?
Ok, it works fine for me but it does not work for my girlfriend.
It says “we were unable to sign you into .NET messenger service possible because of a problem with your connection….”She can’t get msn.co.uk or hotmail.com to load either but i can, yet i am not having any problems at all…
She uses:
Windows ME
