Its worked for years to allow em to use msn messenger, but as of today it won't let me sign in. Other hotmail accounts can sign in no problem. What's the deal??

This happened to me yesterday, I had to go into system restore, back to a date last week where I knew it worked great. Try that and see what happens. It should solve your problem.

Trillian is good.  Have you tried downloading the file for MSN Messenger again and attempting to re-install it?  I would suggest going to your control panel, then add/remove programs and see if the MSN Messenger is there.  If so, click on it and uninstall it.  Then go back and download the file again.\n\nHere's the link:\n\nhttp://join.msn.com/messenger/overview/\n\nI just thought of something else.  If you are using Windows XP, there is a Windows Messenger already built into your system.  You can use your MSN ID to log onto MSN Messenger using Windows Messenger.  Click your start button, go to ALL PROGRAMS and see if you see Windows Messenger (a little green guy icon), if so double click on him and you should be good to go.

You have come to the wrong place. Please contact Yahoo! Support for technical issues relating to Yahoo! Messenger. In the page where Microsoft tells you about contacting Yahoo!, there must be a link that will actually take you to a page where you can contact Yahoo!. Here is the link to Yahoo! Help:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/\n\nYou can also try reposting this question in Yahoo! Answers, BUT in step 3, choose the category as "Yahoo! Products" (the last entry in the first list). In the next list, choose the appropriate sub-category.\n\nHope it helps! (no pun intended :P)\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

Your Windows OS(ur using that right?) has an inbuilt msn messenger service which you cant delete on any way.If you check your taskbar on the bottom right, you might see two msn mesenger icons.The problem is that the new msn mesenger does not get installed upon the older one but separately.Does it show that you are logged on a separate computer? If it is something like that, then first check whether the facility to get automatically logged on the older msn mesenger is enabled.If you are then disable it.You will still find the older msn mesenger shortcut on the start menu if you havent personally removed it.Once that is done ie automatically logging on that msn mesenger is disabled, you can log in in the newer version. If you stil have problems, try uninstalling the newer msn mesenger and reinstalling it again.If it isnt the problem like I stated before,the newer msn mesenger usually gives you a chance to repair.If it doesnt, then it isnt installed properly.Another thing, make sure your antivirus allows msn mesenger to run.

Right now I don't have any option to use the Yahoo! Messenger as it will not work right on my system. I am not sure why, but it just stops responding after a while. I removed it and cleaned out my regestry each time and then reinstalled the program only to have it happen again each time. So, I do not even have Yahoo! Messenger installed now. It is working just fine on my fiance's computer so it must be my computer and not the program. Odd, though, as it was working just fine. I know it isn't a bad file as I have cleaned out all orphaned and broken regestry keys, so go figure. \n\nAnyway, this is difficult to answer. Each have features the other doesn't which I wish would be combined into one. I really like the sealth settings on Yahoo! Messenger, yet the MSN Messenger has better web cam clarity than Yahoo! provides with the exact same web cam. I also like how MSN contacts, hotmail contacts and my Outlook contacts are all basically assesable together. I can put a calender reminder in hotmail, and get a reminder via MSN messenger, my Outlook, hotmail or all three if I like. I really like the new interface of both Yahoo! and the new hotmail, or MSN live mail. Yet, hotmail is much easier to integrate into Outlook if I so choose to do so than Yahoo! mail is. Yahoo mail is still integratable but there is much more headache than with MSN Live Mail. Now, I like the Yahoo! Smilies and Audibles as well as the backgrounds much more than MSNs. They are easier to share too than MSNs. I think if the features I like about Yahoo! and MSN were all put into one I would hang these up in a heartbeat and use the new intergrated one. Then again isn't that just a fact of life, that you never get everything you want in one place? LOL

Haven't noticed any real problems lately.  Had a hard time keeping MSN and ICQ connected a few weeks ago...but Yahoo's never been a problem.\n\nI didn't see anything on their forum either.

for some reason, the service might be down. if not, try to check your firewall and configure it to allow all connections for yahoo messenger. Also, u could try a clean install of our yahoo messenger on your pc.. uninstall and install the latest version.\n\nbut i think its because of the service is down.. but however, good luck in trying my solutions.

ugh, you dont need to download it again, unless you want to be signed in to two accounts at the same time, then use web messenger. you can use as many accounts on one messenger as needed, but you can only sign in one at a time

What OS are you running? I'm using Windows XP Professional SP2 and that's never happened to me. Maybe you are using Windows Live Messenger 7.5 instead of the latest 8.0. Definitely send feedback to MSN.\nHere's the link for feedback:\n\nhttp://feedback.live.com/eform.aspx?productkey=wlmail&mkt=en-us

Does someone else use your computer? Maybe they uninstalled it. Try reinstalling whatever messenger you use.

you would probably have to remove the messenger program from the add/remove program and try going into the chat line again!

Did you just get this computer?  In some cases this is possible if msn messenger is logging on to the network automatically.  If this is the case just uninstall that version of msn messenger.
