Hey, welcome to the forum :).

As suggested when you post a new topic, you need to do the following:

quote:
Before posting...

   1. Have you searched the forums for an existing thread that answers your question?
   2. Is your question answered in the Messenger Plus! Live FAQ?
   3. Is your question answered in one of the "Sticky" threads at the top of this forum?

Please remember...

   1. Write in proper, concise English. This makes it easier for other members to understand your question. Also, please read the forum rules.
   2. If you want support in your native language, you can visit the Dutch, French, Italian, or Spanish forums.
   3. Provide as much information about your problem as you can. For example, tell us everything you have already tried and what versions of Windows, MSN Messenger and Messenger Plus! you are using (type (!VER) in a conversation window to find this info).

I also have WindowBlinds, and I'm 99% sure that WindowBlinds will have no affect on Messenger (although you haven't given us any details so it's hard to guess).

Can you explain exactly what happens? So you can install it fine...? Then when you try to open it, nothing happens? Have you tried waiting a while? Sometimes it can take a while to load. Also try and close any programs your not using.

You posted this in the Messenger Plus! help forum (maybe by accident). Do you have Plus! installed? If so, try uninstalling it from Add/Remove Programs to make sure it's not causing any problems with Messenger.

Do you have a router? If so, which one (brand and model number)? Try resetting it by unplugging it for one minute, then plugging back in and restart PC, as suggested here and here. Or disable then enable the network adapter.

quote:
I fixed it by resetting my router to default settings. Before I did that, I did a little test. I made sure no msnmsgr.exe was running went and disabled my network adapter (NIC), rebooted, and opened WLM and low and behold it opened. After that is when I re enabled my NIC then all of a sudden WLM stopped responding that when I went into my router and reset it to factory defaults, rebooted my pc and WLM opened fine and signed in fine.

It would be best if you could reset the router, that seems to have fixed the problem for many people.

I'm not sure what you mean by "disconect the plus to my computer" ?

Errm.. you can try it. I don't know if it will work or not. Pull it out, wait a minute, plug it back in. Then restart your computer.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to try resetting the router when your brother isn't using it.
