my windows messenger does not work and does not let me sign into it..
when i do a message comes up saying...
we are unable to sign you into .net messenger service,posssibly because of a problem with your internet connection.Please make sure you are connected to the internet.

I then pressed help and it says that all .net messenger services are running well. and i am connected to the internet.

do you know what else i could do?

When you go to internet explorer and click file does it have a tick next to "work offline"? If so untick it.

Upgrade to the latest version of Windows Messenger, if you are not already using it, Click Here to download Windows Messenger 5.1

Does this problem also happen with MSN Messenger, or just Windows Messenger (try MSN Messenger if you haven't already to see if the problem is actually caused by Windows Messenger).

If you are using a firewall, make sure it allows Windows Messenger full access to the internet. Also that you are using the latest version of the firewall.

Are you using a proxy to connect to the internet?

i have and that also does not work

Click My Computer on your desktop, then click C:\ then Program Files, then find and double click MSN Messenger (if you do not find it, download and install MSN Messenger by clicking here.

Then download this file;
Click Here to Download the file
(you will need either Windows XP or WinZip to open this file). Once you open it paste msidcrl.dll into the directory you searched for earlier (C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger).

i tried downloading msn 6.2 and that does not work
says i have a newer version on my computer.

In order to install MSN Messenger 6.2 you must first uninstall MSN Messenger from Start > Control Panel > Add\Remove Programs > MSN Messenger > Change\Remove and follow the uninstaller.

However please do not try this until you have already tried all the other help ideas I have posted in this thread

i have done what you told me to up to where you have to download the next file..
when i try this a message appears saying..
Link Expired
The download link of msidcrl.dll has expired. Please go back and reload the page. A new link will be generated and you will be able to download the file.
If you're having major problems downloading the file even after reloading the previous page (step 3 of 3), please contact us using the form at http://www.dll-files.com/contact.php !
Thank you in advance!

Go to http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msidcrl
And click "Click here to go to the download of msidcrl.dll" (if nothing happens make sure you don't have a pop-up blocker enabled) and click "Download msidcrl.dll". Then Download the file that way. Then follow my advice from just after I told you to download the file, using the flawed method.

Once you open it paste msidcrl.dll into the directory you searched for earlier (C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger).

i dont understand what u mean by this..
as i didnt search for anything earlier..

if anyone knows what anubis means please help me out..i would be sooooo grateful
