Msn Messenger has stopped working.. Help ! !

[D1CKY]

I went to sign into my Msn Account a moment ago and it did nothing.

I got a windows box coming up saying msn messenger has stopped working.

Does anyone know why this would happen as its been working fine for the past few days.

It did this a month back and i had to re-install it, but why does it keep reaccuring ?

I'm notthat clued up in Computers that why i thought i'd ask on here

click close program and restart

 

[D1CKY]

I've tried 2 or 3 times

 

[D1CKY]

I have just un installed it and installed it and still not working.

And the thing is my laptop has 120gb hd memory and 1 gb of ram and i have iave vlc media player, realplayer, adobe reader 9, avg free anti virus software and yahoo messenger 9 installed so should have heaps of space.

Also i ran he virus scanner last night and it found nothing.

So i screwed if i know what it is.

And i only just reloaded Windows Vista premium back on it about 2 weeks ago

 

[Mandie]

Mine is working fine have you got the updated version i had to update mine

 

[D1CKY]

Which one is that ?

I just downloaded it from here when i re installed it.

 

[Mandie]

Looks like that one i think i might have version 9 depending on what you have running messenger might not work with the tools have you tried the old version the up graded i had to do this.

 

[Mandie]

Did you go on google to find it as there are loads that dont work

 

[D1CKY]

[D1CKY]

Did you go on google to find it as there are loads that dont work

[Mandie]

to be honest i just out my mouse over each one till it said i will have a look for you and try and find the link

 

[D1CKY]

[Mandie]

[D1CKY]

Ok i'll give that a go the one i have now is uninstalling.

Do i need anything else ?

 

[Mandie]

I think you just have to keep upgrading it sometimes tells you when to upgrade. I hope it works for you i would be lost without mine

try clearing cookies/history on I.E

With mac's its not uncommon to get the symptoms you describe, where msn becomes unresponsive, particularly launching your inbox. Doing the above solves this for a period.

Before i get criticised, i realise he is running vista not a mac OS, but sounds like he is flat out of ideas, so worth a shot.

 

[Mandie]

Thanks that will help me aswell as i just used to re install wrong i know and i'am on windows xp.

Better advice than i could of given[

Do you not think the pop-up blocker in the other thread had something to do with it stopping working?
