hi, i've been having the same problem on one pc but not on the other, on my home network.

in fact had a similar problem on my ex's pc, and the two problem pc's both had the same anti-spyware installed - ClamAV for Windows.


Which is excellent software, but I think it could be the cause, for me.  I've just disabled it's realtime scanning and its been ok for about 10 minutes, which is some going for this pc


So I think it could be your anti-spyware program - worth a look?

just to confirm, just been chatting for over half an hour after i made that change.  was definitely the problem.

Thanks for that Antonjw, but I have no spyware running in real time. I run mine independantly every couple of weeks. I hope you've found the solution long term to your problem though.

Actually, it was Spyware Terminator that was the offending program - hope you have some luck finding the cause of the problem at your end - mine seems to be resolved now...

does anyone know how to help me, my windows live messenger signs me out every 30 seconds!!! i can't actually go on msn anymore becuase there is no point!!

Hi all,

I have had exactly the same problem and due to another post which someone mentioned ZoneAlarm being the problem I have investigated and have found the following has worked (or has so far):

[list]
[/list]
Go into ZoneAlarm
Select IM Security
Select Settings Tab
Click on Advanced Box
Remove Tick from "Block IRC"
Click OK and sign-out of ZoneAlarm

I have no idea what IRC is but I did this about 15mins ago and have held a constant chat ever since without any failures  (here's hoping it lasts!!) .

Good Luck

Hold The Press ..........................

As per usual I was led into a false sense of security..............a while after posting it started failing again !!!!       

Appologies for getting anyone's hopes up reading this.

Next step...............Zone Alarms coming off ...........

i been having the same problem, with YIM, Xfire, MSN Messanger, and yahoo game rooms, so im thinkin it may be a windows issue possibly but damn if anyone can figure it out, let me know!

i am normally signed into 2 accounts for Messenger Plus live, have been  doing so for months now, for the last couple of days/week I cannot sign into 2nd account for longer than 5 seconds before the message appears "windows live messenger has encountered a problem & needs to close"! but there is no problem with my other account it remains signed in after windows live messenger has shut down the 2nd account.
I also run u tube & surf the net at the same time, the problem only occurs with messenger plus live, never a disruption to my other net services, after i log on, i cant even send a message, check emails or anything!!!! this is driving me insane!!!! please help me!!

I use Zonealarm and have the same issue as some others on this forum on MSN logging out every now and then. My MSN would also log me out when I commence a chat or when I have 2 chat windows running....

I have 2 notebooks on the net and on one I have Zonealarm and MSN and the other I have Norton Internet security. I don't seem to have any logging out issue with the notebook that has Norton.

It could be Zonealarm. So i have started trying out different configuration. I have tried turning off the encryption for IM and so far it is ok. ... for the last 15mins

I will let you all know if I have further success with this....

Are you running windows XP or Vista? I have 2 pc's next to each other 1 with XP and 1 with vista. I have never had a problem with MSN Messenger on the Vista PC, msn only logs me out on the XP pc yet they are connected to the same router, maybe it could be a compatability issue with the new version of messenger?

No idea if thats true - just a suggestion - if that helps or rings a bell with anyone I would also like to know whats causing it!!!

my problem is the other way around...

a xp pc and a vista pc..... and just the vista pc keeps logging out and logging in. it's very annoying.

and it seems there's still no solution....
