completely reset my main pc to OS settings after not being able to get on to msn (think one of my kids got something on the bloody thing) reloaded it tonight.. still giving same message .. wont allow me to log on to msn at all... anyone any ideas? Im at the stage where its very soon to be chucked through the window !

TIA

 

Microsoft said you don't have any friends, so it cancelled your account

 

its ONLY on my 'house' pc , you nump on my lappy, im still chatting away happily,.. its mainly so the missus can chat to her mate in new Zealand.

 

Presumably you've tried the 'Repair' option in Control Panel, Add and Remove Programs ?

 

errr... yeah even tried another bloody router on it.. same ****.. just will not let me in on the pc.. i have another pc and two laptops in the house , and they're all fine...

 

I had a problem with MSN 7.5 and one day it stopped working altogether. It seemed to be a problem that Microsoft were aware of but it was in their list of things they did not have a fix for yet. Luckily my other computer still has version 7 on it, which works fine, and this one now has version 8 which has never given any trouble so far, touch wood.

 

is there anywhere i can get an earlier version from just to load on that pc for now?

 

When I wanted to re-download Version 7, I just went to MSN home page but it was about four months ago, when they still did a load of stuff for Windows 98. You might have to google it to find an old version now, though.

 

cheers.. will give it a shot later..

 

I have the same problem getting error codes, upgraded and setup new account but will not log in. working fine on my pda and lappy though...

 

yeah.. ive got 2 pc's and 2 lappy's .. its only affecting the one pc.. all others seen ok at the moment.. wierd

 

Im just going to reboot xp because i need msn on this pc

 

LOL, time for a serious answer

check the time on your pc, if it is out by more than an hour, from the real time, you will not be able to sign in to msn

 

it only fekkin works!!
