whenever I sign onto msn messenger, none of my contacts receive a pop-up saying I have signed on-any idea why?

You are either logging in as Invisible, or you appear Offline.

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

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.

try setting the connection preferences -> firewall with no proxies\n\n(you can do this when signing in - by clicking up on the left on the Messenger button, or after you've signed in in the same way, except you'll go like that: Messenger-> Preferences-> Connection)\n\nhope it works! it worked for me! ;)

I am using IM...no problem. If you have problem you reinstall it. You can chat with me when I am on line..otherwise send an offline message. I will answer you.Check your account setting.

Ok are you using two different comps.......maybe at work during the day then home at night? I have had that happen a few times, and at one pt. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. That might help. I think it is just msn itself though. I have heard a number of people having that same kind of problem with msn. If you get a box that pops up when its trying to open I usually keep pressing try again everytime it comes up and it finally opens.

i had the same problem an hour ago for a while... now its fine though, just try again soon...sometimes it just wont let you in- usualy something wrong with the msn and not you.if you keep having the problem- maybe you dont have the right password.... try clicking- forgot my password...

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.

If you havent' already done so, d/load the new messenger from messenger.yahoo.com. Answer the introductory set up questions and then you can save your usernamea and password so that it logs you in everytime.

Are you sure you're logging off and not just minimizing?  Try closing the program altogether...a lot of them just minimize and look like they're closed.\n\nAre you getting messages after the program is closed or when you log back on?  It might take some time for other to see the log off due to delay in tranmission.  I know that Yahoo allows offline messages that you see the next time you log in.  I didn't think MSN did that, but I haven't used it in a while and it could be one of the new features.

Make sure that you have Yahoo! unblocked from your current Firewall, Antispyware, NAT software...\n\nTry what I said first, if still doesn't connect, then try visiting the link bellow and follow click on the appropriate link depending on your version and problem:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/messenger/\n\nGood Luck

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.

On MSN Messenger, go to Tools, Options, and on the General tab you'll find a setting: "Allow automatic sign in when connected to the internet." Just make sure that is deselected. I am not too familiar with the latest version of AIM but every piece of [decently coded] software has an options/preferences/settings section selectable from one of the drop down menus, usually File, Edit, Tools, or Options. Just look around the menus for access to customizing the software settings and you should find an option to "uncheckable" a box that will say "start automatically at sign on", or something to that effect. The key here is to learn to use the software.

If you do have a pop up blocker on, disable it.  If that isn't the case, redownload the beta and install it again.  If that fails, go back to the non beta version of the messenger.

are you going into chat by the way of messenger.. click tools at top of messenger, scroll down 2 chat, click it.. if that doesn't work, maybe you need 2 reboot or refresh messenger, by clicking view at  top of messenger and then click refresh  : )
