RE: Sign in is pissing me off
well...i had the same problem in mIRC..it was cause of my firewall and that i shared my internet and the place (my neighbour) where all the internet was connected and another firewall so it was like 2 firewalls and it took like 2 mins to get connected to mIRC...its prolly because of ur firewall setting...the firewall that windows XP has sux so mu can turn that off...that might make it a little faster

do u share internet?

yes with the pc downstairs. When turning off the firewall it doesn't change a thing tough...
But that is my opinion!

I noticed when I turned it off normally; it didn't actually turn off for my LAN. Start > Control Panel (classic view) > Windows Firewall > (Make sure it's off) > Advanced > Make sure it is unchecked there. Click Ok. When you turn it off in general for the internet it doesn't affect the network version.

RE: Sign in is pissing me off
maybe ur computer doesnt accept or run some files that come with msn 6 or higher and that makes it slower

this what i just said is just a thought

dunno, deleted the register, did a clean install, nothing. PC downstairs doesn't run msn properly also... I tried like everything. I have SP2. And I deleted Windows Messenger... but that won't make a difference right... So waiting for the final relase of 7.0 is an option, and see.. but it doesn't look beautiful because I just tried that leaked private beta and it's also that slow... and it's close to the final one.. it's very weird, I don't understand :( This thread isn't pointless after all... there are always new possible solutions and that way we get closer to the cause of the problem, altough I feel like being not there at all.

But anyway:p

yeah i tried to turn of that firewall completely, together with the one in my router, but nothing. Yes I turned it back on :P Maybe i'll try installing Windows Messenger again, you can never know
I reinstalled windows messenger but it doesn't change a thing, it seemed okay first but sign-in time takes as long as before... i will make a movie of the thing so you can watch it...

Help me out please :D
this is a movie i took of my sign in, watch how long it takes before my contactlist appears:

http://users.pandora.be/dj_exca/msnfreeze.avi

-> I suggest you click save as...

I hope I took the right codec so you can view it..
Oww yeah, I also tested windows messenger as i installed it anyway and sign-in takes no-time, in a moment i'm online and my list appears immediately. Guess msn itself is the one to blame.... :'(
But that is my opinion!

RE: Sign in is pissing me off
maybe its the number of smilies people have in their display name that takes msn7 a while to work out and draw. i've noticed msn being pretty slow the first time it shows my contacts list if people have a lot of those in my contacts list... its even slower if i've also got "this is a shared computer so dont save my address book on it" set on too...

does it log in any faster if you turn on "display by email address" (Contacts menu/Manage contacts/view contacts by/email address...)?

Do not uninstall Windows Messenger because MSN Messenger uses several of its APIs...You can disable it using CookieRevised's Reply to I am about to rip my hair out over MS Messanger

Due to the timing that the contact names are delivered to the client and when they work them out, this is not a likely cause...

Again, same thing...

This got me thinking, when a problem seems to have no cause. Just try random setting changes (nothing really big). And eventually it may work.
