Well since MSN didnt reply to my email i sent a month ago, I asked people to help me, they said they didnt know and gave me the Messenger Plus! Forums link.

This is not a Messenger Plus! fault/error or w/e (i think)
Anyway i can't sign into MSN 6.2.
When i try, i says its signing me in.. then it just stops, it doesnt give out any errors.
I can sign into Windows Messenger and i can also sign into MSN 6.2 on my other computer. And i can sign into other accounts on MSN6.2 on this computer.

I tried uninstalling MSN 6.2 and reinstalling it but i still got the same problem.

Anyways, i think it has to do with my reg and i dont know what.

Can anyone help?

I think Windows Messenger may be singin in silently at the background which prevents MSN Messenger from singin in correctly. To be honest this i just wild guess, but problems simular to this do seem to happen.

At least it wouldn't hurt to disable Windows Messenger the right way if you only use [i]MSN Messenger. CookieRevised created an excellent guide on how to do this. Follow his instuctions precisely (step 1 through 9.

You can find Cookie's guide here: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=26...d=258821#pid258821
The actual guide itself starts where it says "Correct way:".

well.. i did what it sayd... it didnt work though.. i still have the same problem, nothing has changed.

EDIT: AARG #@$()@%$ now Windows Messenger doesnt work

still not working

do you have something installed for MSN Messenger or Plus!? such as plugins or patches or add-ons for MSN Messenger?

Are you running a firewall of any kind ?

No, i don't have a firewall

yes i have/had alot of plugins... i installed MessengerDiscovery2 a couple of days before MSN 6.2 stopped working... i don't know if that helps...

ok... uninstalled... still not working...

sorry to bother you guys like this..

Isn't Messenger Discover acting as a local proxy? This means that Messenger Discovery (or you manually) probally configured MSN so it connects to a proxy. To fix that, follow these steps:

• Start up MSN 6.2.
  
• Click "tools" -> "options" -> "connections".
  
• If there is something filled in there and you don't need a proxy server to access the internet, then uncheck "i use a proxy server" and press "OK".
  
• Exit MSN and start MSN up again.
  
• Try to sign in.

well... i said earlier that i can actually sign into other accounts with msn 6.2 but not with mine. So it can't be trying to connect trough a proxy, i will check anyway..

*checks*

nope... there is not proxy configured...

• Download Mesenger Disable and run it.
  
• Uncheck every option and press "Apply".
  
• See if you can start Windows Messenger from the startmenu now.

• Exit every instance of MSN and Windows mesenger.
  
• Press <CTRL>-<ALT>-<DEL> to make sure msmsgs.exe, msnmsgr.exe and msgplus.exe are not running anymore.
  
• Now run Messenger Disable again and check the "Uninstall Windows Messenger" option, press "apply" and reboot your PC at the end.
  
• After starting back up, visit http://www.windowsupdate.com and install a fresh copy of Windows Messenger from there.

• Exit MSN Messenger.
  
• Press "Start" and select "Run", now enter "C:\Documents and Settings\ and press "OK".
  
• Doubleclick on your username. If you are not sure with what username you are logged in, press the "Start" button in the lower-left of your screen and see what name it says.
  
• Doubleclick on "Application Data". If you don't see that folder anywhere, then simply type "\Application Data\ in the adress bar after what is already showed there so you'll get "C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\" and press <ENTER>.
  
• You should see a few folders with only numbers now.
  
• Download MSN6 ID, fill in your emailadress which you are having problems with in MSN and press "Work out".
  
• Now, delete the folder from your PC which has the same number as the one that you just generated.
  
• Try to login at MSN (you might want to reboot so that MSN and Plus! are automatically started again)

w00t you guys are the best, it works!
