[:( Hi everyone, i’ve read all the pages and still MSN messenger won’t work. I keep getting error 0x81000306. i’ve tried everything said but nothing works. been happening for about 3 weeks now. Yahoo and Trillian both work fine, I have XP home, Zone Alarm (but it doesn’t work when that was totally uninstalled so I reinstalled it anyway), IE6, apparently MSN 6.2 (yet to see what its like)…. tried changing passwords and everything…nothing has changed. help?
Shadow Flix, It is possible that some piece of spyware has messed with your hosts file. Scan your machine for hosts and open it with notepad. the only unremarked entry should be 127.0.0.1 Local Host. In WinXP it’s in the windowssystem32driversetc folder. Any sites listed there with the IP 127.0.0.1 will be directed back to your own machine and you would get the page not found error
I’ve got the problem that when i’m signin in at 6.2. It does sign in for 2 seconds, and than stops. Without any failurewarn or something…
I can only use an very old version of MSN. Because when I try to install 6.0 it says: You’ve got to install the newest version. It drives me crazy. I need al solution 😡i have MSN messenger version 6.2 which I hav been successfully using for te past 3 weeks. 2 days back I had signed in on MSN messenger and suddenly my display name was automatically changed to something like “[k][k]des …” etc etc. which I guess was not english. so I tried to change the name back to my normal name and I was signed out automatically. all further attempts at signing in hav failed. but I can still signin to my hotmail account with the same id and password(which I even tried changing).
also I can sign in to MSN messenger using my other id’s .but I hav no contact list on tht id so its kinda useless.
does anybody know why this is happening or is it a virus? how should I get rid of it?
could anybody please help , I read zool facing a similiar problem

hi ece
i was facing a lot of problems myself with MSN 6.2
probably you are messenger has a virus vbs/redlof@m
try this
1.delete all MSN files as well as all versions of the MSN messenger from your computer
(make sure you delete all messenger files)
2. then download MSN messenger 6.2 from the internet and set it upnow try signing in
hopefully it should work , it worked for me.
first: sorry for my english, I’m italian.
second: I installed MSN messenger 6.2 a month ago and I used it since one week ago when the error 0x81000306 appeared…what I have to do?
I read the the previous replies and done all yuo wrote to do but I didn’t solve the problem…Hi to all, I got the same error since friday, but only in my office.. in my office I use MSN messenger with a proxy and this use http protocol and gateway.messenger.hotmail.com to connect.. so I think this server is down. somebody can confirm that??
Regards
Hi all.
Seems that I’m not the olnly one having troubles with the “new and improved” MSN 6.2.
I have made some troubleshooting and I can see that my client tries to connect straight to the microsoft server without using the proxy that I have configured. The netstat -a gives:
TCP myHostname:3728 messenger.hotmail.com:1863 SYN_SENT
It should say that it connects to my proxy server and nothing else. Anyone else having this trouble?
