MiCrO$oFt $uK$ :D
when i try to connect to msn, i always get this message saying:
"sorry, we were unable to signe you in to msn messenger at this time, please try again later"
i have had this message everytime i tried to connect for the past 2 days now, and i have had it on and off before, any ideas on how to solve it?
 
Hey will

I am having some problems as well...
Are you with V7.5?
Basically, I run it and after about 5 minutes it disconnects and not only that, once disconnected, nothing else can connect to the net, WTF.

I detest this little :swear: program and the only reason I am trying to run it is because some :swear: installed it on my mum's pc in Israel instead of Skype....inspite of me advising her otherwise....

MSN?????? Don't get me started.....
:swear: :swear: :swear:
 
i can connect to the internet, just nto msn, i can use msn web messenger, and e messenger, but not msn messenger, or windows messenger, sometimes it connects, then disconnects, then cant connect, but for past 2 or 3 days i havent been able to connect once |:(
 
The problem most of the time is that msn is that msn are about to release a new major version. Version 8 should be out in the next few weeks so that might be your problem.
Thanx
 
Possible Causes of this error include

* The system clock may be set incorrectly.
* The Dynamic Link Library (DLL) softpub.dll, may not be registered on the system.
* Internet Explorer may be using an invalid proxy server.

Resolutions

* Double click on the clock in the taskbar and make sure the system clock is set correctly.
* Register softpub.dll using the regsvr32.exe tool.

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regsvr32 softpub.dll and then click OK.
Restart MSN Messenger.



* Remove any Internet Explorer proxy server settings

In Internet Explorer, click Tools and then click Internet Options.
In the Internet Options dialog box, go to the Connections tab.
Click LAN Settings...
Untick the Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections) checkbox.
Click OK and OK again Internet Options.
Click to expand...

Hope this helps
 
It happens to me at random, but not very often. All I have to do to fix it is to click sign in manually.
 
I think I found out the problem with my MSN (V7.5).

I have checked and due to my Firewall's settings I have no reverse (or is it reserve?) DNS.
Under normal circumstances this is absolutely fine.
However, Messenger does not like this...... I have Sygate Personal Firewall which has 'Smart DNS' enabled and this settings cannot be changed....

Saying all that I have not tried to connect Messenger with the firewall disabled. So really I might be talking out of my behind.....

Will check and post results.
 
Mine is now giving me a firewall error on a fresh install of windows with the firewall disabled lol.
 
about my firewall problem...my cock was set a year back, and it was saying it was a firewall problem....stupid MSN.
