Thing is, it shouldn’t…
It could be which Messenger Server you are connected to… I know its sorta Ironic, but signing out then in again is the only advice I can think of.
I used to experience this problem a while ago, and it went away after a while.
This is most likely a connection problem between your computer and the world wide web, and not actually anything to do with Windows Live Messenger.
If you and your sister are both using WiFi enabled laptop, do you have decent reception?
If you are using a firewall, does it continue to happen after the firewall has been disabled?
Do you run any proxy software?
Do you run any peer guardian software? such as filtering rude words from websites? Restrictions from certain websites? That type of thing?
This is normally a password problem, all i can say is keep trying your password, make sure caps lock isn’t on, that kinda thing.
If it still doesn’t work, and you do not know your secret question. The only advice I can give you is contact Microsoft Networks via this link:

This is sometimes caused by the cache left on Internet Explorer. If your internet’s working fine, then follow these steps. Otherwise, skip the bullet-points and read below.
- Close MSN Messenger
- Open Internet Explorer. Set it to work offline (File -> Work Offline)
- Close Internet Explorer and reopen it. Now set it to work online (File -> Work Offline [Untick]).
- Open Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> type “cmd” and hit enter)
- Type “ipconfig /flushdns”. You should recieve a message that your DNS has been successfully flushed.
You should now be able to connect to MSN Messenger. Open MSN and see if the problem is fixed. If it is, stop reading!
If the problem is not yet fixed, it’s likely you’ve got a problem with your internet connection as the error actually says. To do this, you may want to:
- Reboot your router or modem (if it’s a USB modem, try unplugging and plugging it back in).
- Rebooting your computer
Rebooting your computer, router and modem will fix it for certain, however this takes time. You may want to try the Internet Explorer trick first.
this could just be the last display picture they had.
wait for the contact to come online again and see if it changes
🙂
“Contacts” Menu -> “View Contacts By” -> “Email Address”
If you have tried that, and it still hasn’t worked:
Do you have administrator rights on your computer?
Sign in, adjust the options, then sign out from messenger.
Sign back in, has it changed?- Click the MSN Messenger icon in the taskbar (next to the clock), and then click Exit.
- Make the following changes to your Internet options:
- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Click Network and Internet Connections.
- Click Set up or change your Internet connection.
- Click the Content tab.
- Under Certificates, click Clear SSL State.
- Click OK when you receive a confirmation.
- Click the Advanced tab, and then scroll down to Security.
- Make sure that Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart) is not selected, and that Use SSL 2.0 and Use SSL 3.0 are selected.
Another thing you can do is clear the DNS resolver cache.
- On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Run.
- In the box, type cmd, and then click OK.
- At the command prompt, type “ipconfig /flushdns”, and then press ENTER.
Now try and sign into messenger
The private messages are cached. This means they won’t update unless you request information from that person.
Methods of requesting the needed information is to open a conversation with this person, open their contact card, maybe closing/opening your contact list may work also
I duno, my rates are pretty good on pay as you go, but I have the client on my phone which is kinda cool 🙂
If you are using Messenger Plus Live! for Windows Live Messenger, you could take advantage of its scripting feature and use one of these scripts:
- Countdown Live *Recommended*
Countdown Live lets you set a counter in your name or personal message or both with lots of possibilities to customize it. - Countdown In Personal Message
Adds a Counter (upwards or downwards) to your personal message or nickname. - Elcetera
Provides a countdown to an event, a way to detect foreground applications, a spell checker, etc.
Good luck 🙂
Here are a few for your contact list:
Alt+M: selects “E-mail”.
Alt+Y: selects “MSN Today”.
Alt+O: selects “Add a Contact”.
F1: launches the Help window.
F2: rename a group
F10: Shows/Hides the program’s menu barAlso, the link for the Mess.be forums is: http://www.forums.mess.be
🙂
Thanks guys 🙂
I will do my best, and I hope I can live up to these great expectations you are setting down.
Congratulations to Philip and Jon8RFC, and good luck to Tigerblade in the future.
