fine for me too

Me neither. I was wondering if it had anything to do with the new AVG i have downloaded.
But my MSN won't log in at all, just keeps flashing.

Ransi

Done nothing different here... just got to keep trying I suppose

Iv been having probs for a week or so now, sometimes it lets me straight in others it wont let me in at all glad its not just me.

It's driving me nuts. I have just re-installed it, but still no connection. I think my firewall is too sensitive since i renewed it.

Bladdy thing!

@boy

you mentioned AVG earlier, but that is antivirus only.
Have you reinstalleed a firewall application ?
If so, you may have to retrain it to allow Messenger ports to get through.
What is your firewall, and when you say "since i renewed it", what do you mean exactly ?

You need to make sure your firewall is NOT blocking C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe

My AVG ran out, so i bought new subscription for 12 months. It contains everything, anti-virus, firewall, anti-spam and spyware etc...
I think i need to allow things, which i have been doing, but still won't let me sign on to MSN

I have given up, off out to get smashed cause i'm pissed off

@boy

and here is a quick way to prove if it is your firewall or not...

Go to http://webmessenger.msn.com/
Click 'Start MSN Web Messenger', and then try to sign in.

If you can sign in, there is no problem with the service or your account. It is most def your firewall blocking the inbound connection on your pc.

@boy

You have the fancy pantsy all inclusive commercial verion of AVG.

from http://www.grisoft.com/ww.faq.num-178

Experienced users can configure the firewall manually (to set up actions for individual communicating applications).
But you can also use the Automatic Configuration Wizard. This wizard will check your computer and recommend default settings.
It is automatically configured to provide optimum protection for your computer.
Configuration and the Automatic Configuration Wizard are both available in the context menu by right-clicking on the AVG Firewall component located in the AVG Control Center.

Remember, it is C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe that you need to allow in the configuration.

Go for it.
