Hello, I just got a new computer running vista x64 and I'm trying to install msn messenger, the window says "its searching for other windows live programs but then about 10 seconds later it say msn messenger and sign in assistant did not install. RE: Problem installing msn by T.T. on 10-25-2008 at 10:04 AM use the full install package of live messenger 8.5 instead of windows live (web) installer. you can download it from Softpedia or alternate place. the install method of new wave 3 beta version is more difficult to x64 systems, so i suggest that use the stable 8.5 RE: Problem installing msn by uperkurk on 10-25-2008 at 12:14 PM
Thanks for your help but when I try to install the one from softpedia it says "A network error accourred while attempting to read from the file: C:\users\uperkurk\downloads\install_WLMessenger[1].msi RE: Problem installing msn by T.T. on 10-25-2008 at 12:42 PM yep, because you have an incomplete setup progress. download the MS installer cleanup, install it, and run the msicuu.exe from "c:\program Files\Windows installer clean up" (or you can find it under start menu\programs as "Windows Install Clean Up"). if you see any "windows live xxx" in the list, now select it and click to "remove" button. restart your pc and after that try to install WLM again. GL! RE: Problem installing msn by uperkurk on 10-25-2008 at 01:45 PM
OK I have can now install it thanks alot but now when I try to sign in it says "windows could not sign you in, it could be due to your firewall bla bla bla" RE: Problem installing msn by T.T. on 10-25-2008 at 02:21 PM
not sure that you have a virus. at first check this: RE: Problem installing msn by uperkurk on 10-25-2008 at 02:30 PM
All my anti virus and firewalls are free from the internet. like AVG and LAVASOFT. RE: Problem installing msn by djdannyp on 10-25-2008 at 02:54 PM
Messenger takes its time from the clock on the computer, so if that is correct then the time thing won't be the problem. RE: Problem installing msn by T.T. on 10-25-2008 at 03:03 PM
i said this: the time and date settings on the computer are incorrect RE: Problem installing msn by uperkurk on 10-25-2008 at 03:23 PM Looks like its going to be a vista re-install, vista is so crap should of just got xp. anyways if I re-install vista will that remove the viruses? Also how do I even unistall vista? lol RE: Problem installing msn by robert_dll on 10-25-2008 at 04:00 PM Well, once ina forum I saw a user with the same problem and I said him to check date and hour, but they were current. Finally he called his ISP and they told him to change the connection config, he did it and he finally solved the problem RE: RE: Problem installing msn by djdannyp on 10-25-2008 at 04:00 PM

RE: Problem installing msn by uperkurk on 10-25-2008 at 05:07 PM OK thanks for your help, by the way will this remove all the viruses on my computer?

OK im on the install page and its come up the partitians bit and it says "Disk 0 partitians 1" RE: Problem installing msn by robert_dll on 10-25-2008 at 05:32 PM If you are sure that is the partition whre you have Windows installed the click on delete, and then on new. Choose partition size and accept. RE: Problem installing msn by uperkurk on 10-25-2008 at 05:41 PM So I delete the partitian and then make a new one, I hope it dont mess up so it tells me that I have no hard drive to install it to or something lol |
