O.P. unicows.dll, service unavailable and MSN 7.5.0311
Ok so I recently downloaded MSN Messenger version 7.5.0311 from mess.be
Now considering that my computer is Windows Millenium Edition, I had to download the spefically modified version so it would work on my computer.
So I download it and proceed to install it, everything works as normal.
Than when I try and enter it after the download, I get a message saying;
one of the library files Unicows.dll is missing.
So I search unicows.dll and there is 1, so I copy it into the MSN messenger folder. And msn than opens.
I than proceed to signing in. But wait! I get a message saying;
Signing in to MSN Messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable.
And this message came straight up when I clicked sign in.
So I check to see if the server is ok, and to my surprise, it is up and running.
So I go to connection settings, and it says;
You are currently NOT connect to .NET Messenger Service
So I decided to start a connection troubleshooter.
So I start it, and it gives IP a tick, but than it comes to Default Gateway, and it stops. It says my default gateway appears to be offline. So I click Repair, and I try and sign in again. Still the same thing. So I try this a few times, to no avail.
Now the thing is, I also completely disabled my firewall before trying this.
(Than after it didn't work, I put it back on)
I have looked around the internet and many people are experiencing the same problem. So it isn't just my computer.
I was hoping maybe some of you have some clues as to what is going on and will be able to help me out here.
Thankyou.
All I had to do was copy unicows.dll to the msn folder and it worked.
