Well since MSN didnt reply to my email i sent a month ago, I asked people to help me, they said they didnt know and gave me the Messenger Plus! Forums link.

This is not a Messenger Plus! fault/error or w/e (i think)
Anyway i can't sign into MSN 6.2.
When i try, i says its signing me in.. then it just stops, it doesnt give out any errors.
I can sign into Windows Messenger and i can also sign into MSN 6.2 on my other computer. And i can sign into other accounts on MSN6.2 on this computer.

I tried uninstalling MSN 6.2 and reinstalling it but i still got the same problem.

Anyways, i think it has to do with my reg and i dont know what.

Can anyone help?

I think Windows Messenger may be singin in silently at the background which prevents MSN Messenger from singin in correctly. To be honest this i just wild guess, but problems simular to this do seem to happen.

At least it wouldn't hurt to disable Windows Messenger the right way if you only use [i]MSN Messenger. CookieRevised created an excellent guide on how to do this. Follow his instuctions precisely (step 1 through 9.

You can find Cookie's guide here: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=26...d=258821#pid258821
The actual guide itself starts where it says "Correct way:".

well.. i did what it sayd... it didnt work though.. i still have the same problem, nothing has changed.

EDIT: AARG #@$()@%$ now Windows Messenger doesnt work

No, the bug you are referring to doesn't do anything like that...it simply causes hassle so it signs into a silent Windows Messenger stopping you from signing into MSN Messenger but later you can sign in...This problem sounds unrelated. This is not the bug _Art_ is experiencing...

Have you tried uninstalling Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger and Plus! in that order...and then install only Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger, but not Plus! Then reboot your computer and see if MSN Messenger 6.2 is working, if it is install Messenger Plus! again...Also make sure you're using Windows Messenger 5.0 when you reinstall Windows Messenger (I have a feeling that this may change a few registry settings a long shot I know but it may)
Windows Messenger 5.0
MSN Messenger 6.2

still not working

do you have something installed for MSN Messenger or Plus!? such as plugins or patches or add-ons for MSN Messenger?

Are you running a firewall of any kind ?

No, i don't have a firewall

yes i have/had alot of plugins... i installed MessengerDiscovery2 a couple of days before MSN 6.2 stopped working... i don't know if that helps...

Uninstall Messenger Discovery, and then see if it works...
Also I must warn you, using the internet without a firewall is risky. Windows XP SP2 has one included, please upgrade. Also if you upgrade to SP2 it may also solve your problem if it isn't Messenger Discovery, although that's unlikely...

ok... uninstalled... still not working...

sorry to bother you guys like this..
