What i like to do fun while talking to others on messenger, is to just type single words into my browser and see what comes up.  It can be very fun and quite educational too.  Just any old word and that will lead to others and so on.  Have fun,\nE

MSN has a lot of server issues and its software is a bit more bloated than the rest. Also, in their new version, they only allow XP users to download. Many people still prefer Windows 98 so that leaves them out.\n\n Anything to do with AOL, and you are just asking for them to completely take over your computer. AOL instant messenger files take over your registry and changed things to incorporate aol into your computer. It if weren't for that, then AIM may be ok. \n\n Yahoo has a few problems (like to pc to pc calling..many are have issues with that), but Yahoo doesn't want you to pay for extra display pics and avatars (like both MSN AND AIM do), Yahoo doesn't have advertisements in their IM box (AIM does, but not sure about MSN), and Yahoo connections are always pretty good. 100%.... Yahoo messenger is the best

Its simply popular because it's given ordinary people tools that they want to keep in touch with other people.\n\nAnything innovative that helps people communicate more effectivly is going to become huge very fast.  This is the case for MySpace as well.

Could be the cache of your Internet browser. Clear the cache and try again. Could be they blocked your IP for any number of reasons. Could be the port that MSN Messenger uses to communicate through has been blocked by your firewall or virus software. Could be the software needs to be uninstalled, reboot the system and reinstall. It could be the BIOS on the mother board is jamming the ports or causing a redirect of ports. Maybe a program or hardware item you've recently added to the system has interfered with MSN Messenger functions. Maybe something around a hundred various "could bes" could be the problem.

I think you've confused Windows Messenger with Windows Messaging Service.  (Imagine!)  I can't think of any risk from using Windows Messenger, but you should definitely have the service switched off.

I wouldn't suggest sneaking around with MSN Messenger.  It keeps a lot of info in various folders on your computer.\n\nI would suggest you try http://www.meebo.com/   It's a web based IM service.  Just make sure you use private browsing (Safari RSS), or clear that website out of your history.

You can chat with multiple people using MSN. Here are teh steps\nStart a chat session with one. While you are in this chat window, click on "Actions" Menu and choose "Invite a contact to Join this conversation". You will see a list of your MSN messenger friends, whom you can invite to join the current conversation. \nHope this is what you are looking for.\nUnfortunately, the current version of MSN Messenger does not allow for VOICE conversation with multiple people. If this is what you are looking for, Yahoo Messenger offers such a service and the new Messenger may come out with this feature.

MSN Messenger has more features like emoticons and other silly fluff. Windoze messenger comes standard with windoze os, meaning you don't have to download it as it is already installed. You can disable it though.\n\nOh, and you can't get Windoze messenger on a Mac. Only the MSN Messenger.

I do not think so, Yahoo is better in audio and video chat, even better than MSN, besides the well known services in the site, i think that Yahoo community is still growning, and we have to wait for more innovations!

Just wait a while & they'll fix it.

Nope, I have heard that it is massively popular in the States, but up here in Canada most people use MSN and Yahoo. No one I know uses AIM at all.
