I'd suggest ensure your "Windows Update" has been run and up to date.\nAlso re ActiveX, try yourself on here: http://pcpitstop.com/testax.asp\n\nThen if still problems, tell us your operating system (XP?, W98?) and the version of MSN (note, NOT msM) you're using.

You can set up two types of alerts.\n\n1.  If you use Yahoo! Messenger, you can set it up to notify you when you get Yahoo! Mail.  Within Messenger do the following:\n         a. Go to Messenger --> Preferences menu option\n         b. Choose "Alerts & Sounds" on the left\n         c. Check "Enable alert sounds"\n         d. Highlight "I receive a message in Yahoo! Mail"\n         e. Choose if you want sound, pop-up box, etc.\n\n2.  You can also receive an alert on your Mobile Device when you receive Yahoo! Mail.  You do this using Filters.  Here are the steps for that:\n         a.  Log into Yahoo! Mail\n         b.  Choose "Options" link (upper right hand side)\n         c.  Select "Filters"\n         d.  Click the "Add" button\n         e.  Enter a name for your filter\n         f.  Enter any rules (you can choose all mail addressed to your e-mail address, or from only certain people, or with specific subjects)\n         g.  Be sure to check the "Send an alert to my Mobile Device" box and it will walk you through that information.

Sometimes it just takes time to update. try logging off MSN and then relogging on. Check then. If not, try again tomorrow. Or get a friend to look at  your site to see the updates have happened.

I believe AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, and Gmail all allow you to set up alerts that send a text msg to your cell phone. But if you IM those programs will send u alerts also. I use a program called Trillian that combines AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ and that pops up a msg on my screen when I get an email.

Do you mean MSN Messenger? What version? What operating system?  What is the error message?  Do you have a proxy server?  Do you have a firewall?  Do you have parental controls?\n\nPlease provide more details.

Yes, if you are running Yahoo Messenger http://messenger.yahoo.com you can get audio and pop-up alerts. ( more info at: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger75/managingim/managingim-23.html )\n\nIf you are using Yahoo Toolbar http://toolbar.yahoo.com you can get an alert on the mail button of toolbar. ( more info at: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/toolbar/toolbar-18.html )\n\nYou can also use a Yahoo Widget to check for new mail:\nhttp://widgets.yahoo.com/yahoomailchecker/

If you don't have yahoo messanger, get it. Yahoo instant messagenr or YIM allows you to get mail alerts every time you sign into YIM.

Hmm.. Your question is very ambigous as what Messenger are you talking about : Msn or Yahoo ? and what is the actual problem you are facing .. ?\nAnyways you might wanna try the newest version of Yahoo Messenger again to see if the installer was corrupt. Download it from : \nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Chat/Instant-Messaging/Yahoo-Messenger.shtml

Have you tried COMPLETELY uninstalling it and reinstalling it?  There might be a file that got broken somehow, and that might help.  That's the first thing I try when one of my IMs isn't working.

msn messenger can be troublesome at times, i find the new live version is better than previous ones for singing in with no trouble.\ni would suggest changing password if you are worried about someone else getting into your email.
