msn discovery by nitrolic on 04-18-2005 at 03:52 PM

note in advance that i wanted to post this on the forum of the discovery site but it doesnt work and i dont know where else to post this in the msnplus forum
so here goes
i downloaded the discovery that is so called compatbile with msn 7 but.....i cant really tell if its compatible or not cuz it doesnt let me sign in :D
if i do End Task and close it.....i can sign in
(ive already searched the forum didnt find much)

It very rarely doesn't let me sign in, but it has stopped me from doing so before.

I suggest you try installing MD again.. I don't know why sometimes it doesn't let you sign in, i'm guessing it's something to do with the proxy it uses with MSN Messenger.

Good luck, hope you sort it.

Im having the same problem. I just downloaded MD but it wont let me sign in. Once a close it down via alt + ctrl + del I can sign in to messenger.


RE: msn discovery by nitrolic on 04-18-2005 at 07:38 PM

well i reinstalled like u said.....but this time i closed my messenger before installing it.....and i managed to sign in once :D
but then after i couldnt anymore
im guessing theres still some compatbility issues or something

I encountered a problem like this when I first installed MessengerDiscovery, however I just ran the MSN Messenger troubleshoot wizard and it corrected my settings to allow MessengerDiscovery to work.


RE: msn discovery by nitrolic on 04-18-2005 at 08:22 PM

where is this troubleshoot thingy?


RE: msn discovery by EvilSeph on 04-18-2005 at 09:37 PM

On your contact list/main MSN Messenger window, go to:

Tools -> Options

Click on Connection and then click on Test Connection...

You'll also see a Troubleshoot... button in the error box when you can't sign into MSN Messenger.

I just reinstalled MD and it seems to be working now. Hopefully I get no more problems signing in. Thanks for the help.

Most of the features aren't working. I would recommend either go back to MSN 6.2 and download the previous version or uninstall this one totally and wait to the next version.


RE: msn discovery by nitrolic on 04-19-2005 at 03:19 PM

hmmmmmmmm..........my Test Connection button is greyed out
......maybe its cuz i just formated my computer so ill try again after i changed everything back to the way it was
or unless theres another reason

All the features work for me. MD3 is better than any other version released, in my opinion.

Try using the button on the sign in error dialog box, Test Connection is greyed out for me too, I'm assuming it's because of MD.

My test connection is greyed out as well, but if you click on advanced settings below the test connection button, there are options to test the connection.
