O.P. Huh?  MSN Games not working...
Right heres the problem, my MSN games list wont load in my conversation window. It either says "contacting service" forever or "games list is currently unavailable". Now when I turn off Norton Internet Security it all works fine...Does anybody else have this problem or know how I could fix it?

Try this.. (Worked for me.)

Delete Messenger under Internet Access Control in Norton Personal FW. Reboot. Have NPFW do an application scan (under Internet Access Control -> Configure -> Application Scan). Select _only_ Messenger in the list after the scan is ready. When NPFW asks, make sure you direct to the proper .exe. Reboot.

RE: MSN Games not working...
I have the same problem. I have MSN 7.0 and installed MSN plus a couple of days ago. Could use the games before I installed MSN plus, but now I get the same message that "the list of activities or games are currently not available". When one of my contacts tried to launch a game, I got a message about there is already one application ruuning. Don't know which, and it didn't work.

I have tried this with configuring Norton, but it still doesn't work. Please help me out!

Well i tried reconfiguring Norton, but it seemed to fix everything else that was wrong apart frm the games (e.g contact card backgrounds not showing). Anyone else have any other suggestions?
