Hi any1. Is any1 havin the same log in problem as me with msn 7.5? When I sign in it says that the service is temp unavailable but when I check the service status 4 MSN it says its stable and running ok????????????????????????????????????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Maybe you have to check your firewall settings...

First, ensure that your firewall isn't blocking Messenger. If the problem still occurs, then tell us what the error number is.

Also, if you checked your firewall, and you allow it access, then, try using MSNServersX, switch to another server and tell us if it is working.

Also, did it used to work and suddenly, it doesnt?

yeah thanx 4 the replies ppl basically I used version 7.0 4 ages then when offered the chance to upgrade I did. I installed as normal and followed all necessary instructions. was then prompted to sign in. I typed my email add which took ages to type in then password and it said MSN Messenger temp unavailable? I checked the service status and it was fine. MSN sent me a full blown list of instructions to try and correct the possible problems and it still isnt working? I even signed up a new account and nothing? The firewalls r ok etc the only thing I am unsure about is when u go to connections in the trouble shooting section it says my default gateway is offline??????????

Yes when I installed version 7.5 it just didnt work when about 10 mins previous version 7.0 was wrkin fine? Its weird how its just stopped? I h8 the way it says temp unavailable when the service status says everything is wrkin? VERY ANNOYING Im lost without Messenger.

there wasnt no error number just a message box sayin MSN Messenger service is temporarily unavailble try again later with three options underneath, Retry, Cancel & Help all of which r about as much use as a limp $$$! in a brothel

Please don't double post.
Use the button instead

Now, back on topic, did you try the program I posted?

Did it work?

its wrked now which server shall I use?

What does it say?

i chose the 1st server ~messenger.hotmail.com tested it, it sed it was online so I set it as my server went to sign in again and its still sayin service temp unavailable? Am I doin it right?

look i'm sure you still have windows messenger installed on your pc, the 4.7 try to use it now! , check if it sign in or not!.

then also try to go back to the 7.0.4 version, and try to check if it's working!.,

also try to download a new copy of  msn messenger 7.5.299 from the official site, messenger.msn.com.

best regards
