There a few around, there is a very recent one which uses a JPG exploit in Internet Explorer. But now it’s rather hard for MSN Messenger 6, and one of the possible reasons MSN Messenger 4.6 and below was blocked because it exposed an programming API which would make it a breeze to create viruses.
http://www.happy-messaging.com/messenger/virus/ has some information.
That’s an O not a zero 😉 (the first one)
It’s to do with database stuff, it should be in C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedDAOHotmail is having problems, it is rather wide spread, people are also reporting delays in messages being sent, for me it took 20 days for one message to arrive! I think the only thing you can do is just wait or use another email, there’s been no official word about it. Apparently it will work if you use your Hotmail account in Outlook Express and MSN Explorer, though.
Basically, you can’t navigate to another folder with a shortcut in the send file window; you MUST go to the location manually.
If you keep clicking OK it might disconnect because it’s sending so many commands to the server, does it successfully sign in even if you just leave the windows open? Can you tell whether the email addresses seem real? or are they like “rgjnrgjnre@thtrhomkew.com”?
If you send a pic to danielwinter@paradise.net.nz I can put it up here for people to see.
Hotmail seems to be having some delivery speed issues recently, for me it took 20 days for one message to get to the recipient last month, but it did get there 😉
It would be bit of a privacy issue if you could find out who has you on their blocked senders list, so I’m sure they try to prevent people finding out how. But, if I recall correctly, messages that have been blocked get bounced (you’ll get a message delivery failure email), so if it bounces then you might want to get suspicious :p
Can they still talk to you if you re-sign in?
When you block someone it doesn’t always close the IM session, so they can keep sending messages.
If I understand the problem correctly, then doing this should fix it: When a window is open, right click on it in the taskbar, and choose “Move”, using the arrow keys you should be able to move it back onto the screen where you can see.
Do you get all the same tabs from different PCs? (just the images down the side, I mean). Unless you are using a tab patch like tabserve, then the tabs should be all the same as it goes by the location in your passport profile. Choosing the repair option in the add/remove programs window should remove any patch. I can’t really think why it would be doing that, but you could try using the patch (http://www.msnfanatic.com/tabserv/) and just manually creating the tab to use the right URL.
[Edit:] Corrected forum code. Don’t forget to add the quotes around the hyperlink 😉
Click Start, and choose Run, enter “%appdata%microsoft”. There will be a folder there called “MSN Messenger”, deleting that will removed display pictures, emoticons, backgrounds, etc. But it usually does fix some common problems because the data can become corrupt.
Do try 6.2, it apparently has a connection troubleshooter. I havent seen it myself as I dont have connection troubles 😛
In tools->options and on the privacy tab, is the option “This is a shared computer so dont store my address book, display picture, or background on it” enabled?? if it is,trying turning it off.
I really really doubt it has done anything to your custom emoticons, it just changes a URL in the messenger file. Did you use any other MSN programs around that time?, like the “CE/DP Stealer”, ive heard a few horror stories 🙁
Anyway, could you please update the news post, you can now create custom tabs 😀
