MemberHey guys im having some trouble connecting to MSN messanger..heres some info that may come in handy.
I uninstalled MSN off of my computer about 3 weeks ago with the link on your page, it worked fine before that. I re-installed msn 7.0 the other night and i cant seem to connect. The error just reads “Sorry, were unable to sign you in to the MSN Messanger(BETA) at this time. Please try again later. 80072f78”. My laptop is connected to the internet from a D-link wireless router which has a WEP encryption on it. I dont know if its a firewall/router problem or like a missing file problem. MSN works fine on my home computer which is hosting the router. Im stumped so any help would be appriciated.
thanks, tylong
and if u need any other info lemme know
