i have a major prob, whenever i log onto messenger live, i have a offline message waiting for me, but the message freezes messenger!

i cant click on anything within messenger to turn off the offline message setting, im really stuck at what to do!

Please help!

Unistall and reinstall WLM.

ive tried ths but with no luck ive aslo tried 7.5

any other ideas?

Can you access your messenger account at all? Because if it unfreezes a while afterwards you can always set offline messages to appear as an icon in the menu thing (one such icon being the Plus! icon):

Tools -> Options -> Messages tab

There is an option to show your offline messages after you log in, or as an icon.

Please note that, you can only choose that option when you are signed in. The problem he has now is that whenever he signed on, an offline message will popup causing the messenger itself to stop responding.



Try this:
Uninstall every single add-ons, skins, patches. Thereafter, uninstall Windows live Messenger. Delete the folder itself manually; do note that the folder is still named as MSN Mesenger. Do a disk cleanup, and then restart your PC.
Reinstall Windows Live Messenger. If you don't have the installer, you can go to http://messenger.live.com/  . Please do not install the beta that's at ideas.live.com
Do not reinstall any add-ons, skins, patches and/or whatever you've installed for messenger.
Try those steps and report back. In the future, please state the full version of the messenger you are using, the version of those add-ons, patches, skins and/or whatever you installed to enhance your messenger experience and what OS you are using.

AFAIK he hasn't told us whether it unfreezes or not after a while

hey sorry, im using WLM 8.0

the program freezes straight after i log on, so i have no chance so change any settings at all, and it wil not unfreeze (i left it on over night)

I have followed through your steps on uninstalling and had no luck at all!

any other ideas?  and sorry if i havent given you all the info!

SH*T

BIGGER PROBELM!

i have made a new account to test it, and i have the same freezing problem, so i guess its not a offline message!!!

ARGHHHH!!

Ill try uninstalling again and then cleaning my chache and temp files the accounts work on a online based messenger i just have no idea why they dont work on MSN 7.5 or WLM!!

Any ideas?

Cheers

after that i restarted my pc and reinstalled

worked like a charm!
