Also make sure u have the necessary window \nsystem disk before re-formatting . \nIf u have lost them and  still have the key and date of\npurchase of the system disk go to either microsoft \nwebsite and send them your sos . They will send u a \nreplacement software .\nor go back to the vendor u purchase your window system \ndisk for help.\n\nhappy trying.

Hi Iam also having the same kind problem (slightly diff). \n\nLet me describe more eloboratley. I am using Y! Messenger 7.5 with voice. My OS is XP. \nWhen i log in & click on Messenger|Chat|Join a room, a window appears allowing us to enter a chat room. But when i click a room & click "Join", a message appears saying "This request was refused" & after some time a message appears saying "Joining into room took longer than expected. Please try again later". \nBut when i try again later even after so many days, the same set of messages appear. I am running firewall. But that does not hinder Y! Messenger.\nPlease help us!

I would imagine the dormitory internet have some ports blocked.... only way around it is to run web messenger (webmessenger.msn.com). \nOR\nTalk to the IT person to see if they can unblock certain ports for MSN, etc.\n\nAre other people on the network (in your domitory) able to use MSN fine? If not definetly follow the above 2 ideas.

Yeah, it's pretty serious, and Microsoft ain't releasing a patch until Tuesday :(\n\nIt's even worse that the threat can be exploited just by getting someone to visit a website, or click a link (so be careful using e-mail). And this time, Firefox/Opera are also vulnerable.\n\nHowever, if you go to the Start Menu, Run, and type in \n\n"regsvr32.exe /u shimgvw.dll" (without the quotes)\n\nyou can significantly reduce (although not 100%) the chance of getting infected.

Hi there, \n\nDo you have any other Firewalls or Internet Security programs installed? If so, it is likely that there is a conflict between them and your windows firewall. Try disabling them and check again. If not, uninstall and reinstall the Service Pack 2 again.\n\nHope this helps. If not, I'd be glad to assist you further. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Make sure you're using Internet Explorer from Microsoft.  Although I prefer Mozilla Firefox as my browser, here and there I can't open some webpages.

I used to have problems with the older versions of msn messenger but i got the 7.5 version and its quite good. It can be sometimes a problem if you have quite a problems loaded up plus your internet/broadband speed will have an effect. Hope you sort it out soon i know how frustrating it can be! I would download a new version and reboot x

Here are some suggestions you might want to check/try: \n1.  The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that \nthe time and date are set. \n2.  If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the \ncorrect case (uppercase or lowercase). \n3.  Change your password @ http://memberservicesnet.passport.com/memberservice.srf, then try \nsigning in again. \n4.  If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc. ), it's possible \nthat Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you \nupgraded.  You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall \nif this is the case. \n5.  If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger -- try \nrestarting it and see if that helps the situation.  You also might try uninstalling an \ninstalled firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a problem (even if it is disabled). \n6.  Clear your IE cache and cookies -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then \nInternet Options, then click the Delete Files button, and when that's complete click the \nDelete Cookies button. \n7.  Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then \nInternet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check \nfor server certificate revocation" is unchecked.  Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL \n3.0' is checked, then click OK. \n8.  Click Start, then Run, and enter the following: \nregsvr32 softpub.dll \nthen click OK \nThen try again\n\nAny computer problem\nanswer by expert join our group \nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/prithvionline

It would have something to do with the way you are opening the program. Obviously MSN has been put in as a default somewhere or the person setting up your system put the wrong information in the wrong place. With out me coming over and taking a look I can't tell you much more.

you have to reset your security settings to allow messenger...you r prooly behind a firewall...especially if you downloaded the security package from charter cable...

Removing MSN Messenger in Win XP\n\nThere are some programs we just don't want, specially when Microsoft force them upon us, one such as the damn Messenger program that sticks to the system try, waiting to catch unwanted calls and virus.\n\nThat's right: MSN Messenger got it's own load of virus. There are ways to remove them, but better still is to delete the whole problem, Messenger itself.\n\nMicrosoft has made it as hard as possible to remove it from your system. Both MSN Messenger and MSN Explorer not only take up space on the system, but Messenger also runs in the background at startup, stealing precious RAM and resources.\n\nMessenger does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel.  In order for it to show up there, you must first edit the file named sysoc.inf.  This file can be found in a folder named INF, which is a subfolder of the Windows folder (or in some cases the winnt folder, depending on how your OS was installed).  You can open that file in notepad.  Look for the following line:\nmsmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,\nmsmsgs.inf,hide,7\nand remove the word "hide" while leaving the commas on place. Close and save the file, and then open the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, so that you can remove it like any other program.\n\nEven more Win XP to tweak

Your version of internet explorer isnt high enough. Yahoo messenger doesnt list this as a requirment but take my word, my neighbor just had the same trouble. Download internet explorer 6 and reboot. You should be good to go!

Try to check if you installed firewall or not. Your McAfee might have blocked the path to connect your messenger. If you think it's because of McAfee, you should be able to connect when you disable the McAfee Software. I believe you can easily allowed the messenger's path to connect to internet. (I used zonealarm to block unblock programs). I hope it's just the firewall issue... =&#92;
