So...I've installed Windows Live Messenger for the nth time already...this time waiting about a month between installations...

So I enter my details etc. & click sign in...'signing in' seems to go on forever! I've even resorted to getting a new account...but it still won't budge... Any ideas?!

is it being blocked by any firewalls?

Not that I know of...last time I tried I turned off my firewall but it still wouldn't work...

hmmmmmm
What is the error code that comes up?

Try waiting for ages until it finally does something, maybe an error, maybe goes back to the login screen. It usually does something, so just wait and wait.

No error is coming up...I left it 'signing in' for about 1hr 1/2 and nothing happened...

that is weird
does it do this for msn messenger 7.5
..

Nope, when I had that installed it was fine...no problems on any of my accounts.

Have you added yourself on msn likely this is the problem but may do something
Can you sign in on windows live messenger at your mates?

How do I add myself to msn?
I haven't tried...I'll go & try the other computer now though...

Well I tried both my current & new account on the other computer & they both work fine. The 2 computers are networked & I think the only real difference is the firewalls...mine is ZoneAlarm & the other is McAfee. *confused*
