MSN Games not working... by t1a0s on 10-16-2005 at 10:40 AM

Right heres the problem, my MSN games list wont load in my conversation window. It either says "contacting service" forever or "games list is currently unavailable". Now when I turn off Norton Internet Security it all works fine...Does anybody else have this problem or know how I could fix it?

Try this.. (Worked for me.)

Delete Messenger under Internet Access Control in Norton Personal FW. Reboot. Have NPFW do an application scan (under Internet Access Control -> Configure -> Application Scan). Select _only_ Messenger in the list after the scan is ready. When NPFW asks, make sure you direct to the proper .exe. Reboot.

I have the same problem. I have MSN 7.0 and installed MSN plus a couple of days ago. Could use the games before I installed MSN plus, but now I get the same message that "the list of activities or games are currently not available". When one of my contacts tried to launch a game, I got a message about there is already one application ruuning. Don't know which, and it didn't work.

I have tried this with configuring Norton, but it still doesn't work. Please help me out!

Well i tried reconfiguring Norton, but it seemed to fix everything else that was wrong apart frm the games (e.g contact card backgrounds not showing). Anyone else have any other suggestions?
