Hello,
My msn messenger keeps signing me out for no reason. I can not figure out why. I am running MSN v 7.5 and have installed Penguin msn on top of it which reduced the frequency of the sign outs. I have tried disabling me firewalls, etc. to see if that would work and that didnt work. I am out of ideas and was wondering if anyone had any ideas to help me out. Thanks

Tim

Do you still have Windows Messenger installed? It can interfere with newer versions of MSN Messenger.

No, I do not have Windows Messenger installed. Thanks though. I had already tried uninstalling it, which made things happen less often.
Thanks

I am having the same problem with MSN. I have tried diff versions and forwarded all the required ports in my router. For some reason it just signs out and back in on its own. It is not a problem for me when my comp is in idle but when I am talking to someone it is a pain.

Cheez has a very good point. When I changed my ISP this stopped happening. There were a few things I did prior though that reduced the frequency. The first was installing penguin msn, it can be found when googled, the second is ensuring that Windows messenger is UNINSTALLED. I believe there is a trick to doing this, but I can not remember it, just google it as well. I hope this helps you.
