Cannot log into Messenger 7

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

I cannot log into Messenger 7 on my laptop, but can get in
successfully using Messenger 6.2 if I uninstall 7 and install 6.2.

If I try to sign in with 7, it announces to those on my contacts list
that I have signed in, but on my screen it continues to try and sign
in. I know this to be true as I log in to my other PC with a different
account and can see the notification that I have signed in.

I’ve tried the fix that suggests playing with the connection settings
and testing the connection. I have also tried clearing my temp files,
but neither have helped.

The Beta version worked fine and I have had the issue since I upgraded
to the full version of 7. The new release (7.0.0816) gives the same
problems as the previous ones.

I contacted Microsoft support, but they were not particularly helpful,
with a different person contacting me each time and basically just
suggesting what the last person had said. So any help would be
brilliant.

Sorry, I also forgot to include this error keep getting when trying to
sign in.

I’ve uploaded a screenshot of it here. It is a C++ error that I get
when signing in, just after my contacts are informed that I’m online.

I’ve ensured that everything is up to date using Windows Update and
have followed all the 9 instructions provided in a previous post for a
similar issue, but nothing has helped.

I totally uninstalled my Firewall and that seems to have done the
trick. Installed Messenger 7 after i’d removed the firewall & it
worked. Then I reinstalled the firewall and it’s all working now

Hope this works for you sniperov.

thanks, but just one last question, which firewall did you use? was it Zone
Alarm Pro by any chance, because I use that firewall, and if it worked for
you then I want to give it a definite try. Thanks. Sniperov.
