RE: pls help
The page is not down. You should check your hosts file to see if msgplus.net is being blocked.
The hosts file is in this directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Also, what MSN are you using at the moment? The latest is MSN 7.0.0777 which was released just over a week ago.

RE: pls help
On the MSN main window, go to help->about MSN Messenger. THe version will be 7 but the build should be 7.0.0777. To install programs, you need to have a administrator account on XP. If yours is limited, you cannot install the new MSN on your user, but will have to switch to an administrator account.

To check your hosts, open up My computer and paste this in the address bar.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

If there is a file in there called hosts, right click on it and open with, then choose notepad.

There will be a list of numbers and websites. See if shoutbox.menthix.net is there. If it is, delete this text and the number next to it. Then save and close the window. Then try going to msgplus.net again.

You need to log off your user and log on to an administrator account to change these settings. If you want to have an admonistrator account as well, follow these instructions.

Log on to admonostrator account, start, click on picture next to name of user, click home at top left, click "change an account", click on your account, click "change the account type", then you can choose between limited and computer administrator. Choose computer administrator. Then you will be able to install things and change the hosts on your user account.
