I will need all the help I can get on this.
I just uploaded MSN from 7 to 7.5 ... and now I cannot log in. I always get the "the service is currently unavailable"

But I know its not, cause my friend, on her computer, right besdie me, is on msn.

How do I get around this? I've looked at my firewall and settings but I have to be missing something.

The troubleshooter does no good. So could someone possibly help me?

Do you have Messenger Plus!?... and if you do do you have any plug-ins... and which ones?... Stuffplug is known to cause some problems.

Do you have MsgPlus! installed? StuffPlug?

If you do, please note that currently, MsgPlus! is not 100% compatible with MSN Messenger 7.5.

If you have Custom Names enabled, try disabling them through Plus! > Preferences... > Contact List > Custom Names and unticking "Enable custom contact names".

If you have StuffPlug, disable it or install the latest beta from StuffPlug.com.

MsgPlus! 3.60 will be released on September 27, and will fix this issue.


If none of the above works, you can try to downgrade to MSN Messenger 7.0 until MsgPlus! 3.60 is released.

Ok, I need a link to go back to 7.0 .. cause it's not installed on my computer.

I don't have msnPLus. ... it just ticks me off that I can't make it work.

www.mess.be has all the old versions of MSN Messenger. Also I highly reccomend you download MSGPlus! when the new version comes out on the 27th!

not seeing it .... i dont need all that fancy crap ... just the main msn messenger.

www.mess.be... near the top there'll be a thing that comes down that says "downloads" in it... look in there.... "messenger clients".... try checking there.... it's not too hard to find.... Very simple.... more instruction......... halfway down the page you'll see 7.083 or somethingl ike that...

when i went to download it ... it auto took me to the msn page and downloaded 7.5

http://www.msgshit.com/downloads/481

A different site.



EDIT:.... If nothing else... google it.

still 7.5 when you click on the download v. 7 link

instead of sending me sites ... can any of you offer any actual technical advice?

Even on www.msgshit.com?...... bah.... well.... try searching google for "MSN 7.0 downloads" things like that..... if nothing else just reinstall 7.5... it could fix your problem.

try http://www.oldversion.com/  for MSN Messenger 7.0 or try this one for sure

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...ff7&DisplayLang=en

With just 7.5 there isn't much technical advice to give you.... it could be the servers... but it's working fine for me... could be your internet connection, but if this site is working it shouldn't be... try reinstalling MSN Messenger 7.5... if that doesn't work, downgrade to 7.0...



Oh... yeah... don't double post...

cool i got v. 7 back .. it works just fine

This Is Not The First Time Actully Happens, I Had  A Lot Of My Friends Downgrading To Msn 7.0 Because Of 7.5 Not Working, MsgPlus! Having Most Of The Time, Nothing To Do With It..

I Wonder Why..
