My friend talk to me through msn when i was offline and now whenever i sign in the offline messages will pop up and no matter how many times i close it after each signing in it still comes up.

any idea how to stop this?

Try this:
Tools>Options>Messages>Tick Show a link to my offline messages in the main window

note: this way you'll have to click the offline messages in the main window to ctually read them. if you do choose that feature dont forget to check for it every time you sign in.

I can't seem to recieve my offline messages when I log in at my house but when I log in at someone else's house, I recieve my offline messages...any idea what could be wrong??

More than likely something between your computer and the server it connects to.

However, are you sure you have Windows Live Messenger on your firewall's allowed list?

Are you by chance using Zone Alarm where your friends are not?

how would i be able to check all that??

ok...windows live messenger is on my firewalls allowed list..

well I suppose you will have to wait until you get another offline message to be sure, also the other question was if you had Zone Alarm or not.

how would i check and see if i had Zone Alarm or not?

well you would know because you just said you added it to your firewall allow list...but I will have to go on the assumption based on your posts that your not using it.

i checked to see if Windows live was on my firewall allowed list and it was, but i dont know where to find out if i have zone alarm or not. I also use dial-up, so could that have anything to do with my problem?
