Problem signing into Windows Live Messenger?

If you have a firewall make sure that the firewall is allowing the program to run , otherwise it might be blocking it. Sometimes the server of the messenger has crashes from time to time but this is very rare.  other than that it could be a virus or something . Do you get any Error messages ???  try to go to the troubleshooting.

I'm not sure, but Windows Live Messenger is in beta right now.  I had a previous question that I asked asking if there was a site to sign up for an invite for the beta, but no one answered it yet.  I'm not sure when the final version will come out.

If I had to guess I would say that your copy of the program somehow has become corrupted.  I would suggest going to add remove programs, delete messenger.  Then go to Windows home site and download a new copy.  This should fix your problem.

Ok it's actually been renamed Windows Live Messenger and it's a Beta version.\n\nGo to the link below which will generate an automatic invite then just follow the steps.\n\n\nOr you can download it straight off from the second link at MSGSHIT.\n\nHope this helps!

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.

First, try to sign in to your Yahoo! Mail account using the same user id and password. If that works, then manually enter the same in the Messenger sign in dialog.

Uninstall the one that you are using, in control panel, under, add/remove programs..Then go back to the page where you download the messenger, and get the latest version, that is available, That way, you are starting all over, and any problems, that you might have had, will be gone..It is best, always to get the latest version available..Good Luck..

The username MUST be lowercase when you try to log in. Try that.  Also,  on the very bottom of http://messenger.yahoo.com/ click, Launch Web Messanger. If that works, that it sounds like a router issue, etc

try this if it still doesn't work contact yahoo.\nIf Yahoo! Messenger is unable to connect to our servers, one of the following may occur:\nYour software may display a message that says it can't connect.\nThe yellow "Connecting" light might last for a long time.\nThe light may stay grey and say "Not Connected."\nFirst, check your email or surf web sites to see if you are connected to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). \n\nNext, make sure you have Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 4.1 or above installed on your machine. If you use Netscape as your browser, you don't have to switch to Internet Explorer or even run Explorer. In order to update your system files, you just have to install Internet Explorer. Yahoo! Messenger uses files from Internet Explorer to run. You can download version 5.5 from: \n\n   http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.htm \n\nAll of the above conditions indicate a connection problem, not a problem with your Yahoo! ID or password. (If you receive an Invalid Login error message, there is a problem with your ID or password.) \n\nIf you receive a message that says "You have been logged of as you have logged in on a different machine," this means that you have logged onto the Java Messenger while you were running the Windows Messenger, or vice versa. \n\nIf Messenger was able to connect before, but has suddenly stopped, we may be having temporary server problems. These types of problems are usually resolved in a matter of hours.\n\nIf the problem persists, your Messenger connection information may be incorrect. \n\nIf Messenger has never been able to connect, try this: \n\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on No network detection, then hit the OK button at the bottom. \nMessenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button. \nWhen prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\nIf that doesn't work, follow these steps:\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on Firewall with no proxies, then hit the OK button at the bottom. \nMessenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button. \nWhen prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\nThe above configuration will work in almost any situation. However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the voice chat feature.\n\n\nIf neither of the above options work, you're probably behind a firewall or proxy server that requires you to enter its address. Follow these steps:\n\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on Use proxies. Here you can enter your firewall and/or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet Service Provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.\nNote: If Messenger crashes and you can't connect, please read our Messenger Crash help section.
