If I say you suck, you're going to say you don't suck. So I'll say your lappy sucks, which you won't fully agree with me either. So msn sucks, which it usually does. Laughing

delete all entries in the follow key in registry (by running regedit.exe)

KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSN Messenger

then try again.

Maurince SG

disclaimer: average users shouldn't edit the registry file and when improperly executed, your computer may well need a complete reinstallation. there are precautive measures to take though if you wanna try. do a system restore and when things do get ugly, boot up in safe mode and restore the computer to the last safe point.

^tamago^ SG

cant be bothered to translate into layman terms. Laughing

u help me explain to him lor. Embarassed

^tamago^ SG

Maurince SG

Tamago, thks anyway.. lucky try liao lappy neber crash.. too bad still cant work..
forget to do a restore point 1st.. everything is over liao.. will be sticking to ver7.5 anyway.. everybody peace okay!!

some questions: are you using a windows xp os? is your internal windows firewall switched on? do you have any other firewall installed? does your laptop fit the minimum requirement as stated on live website? you may want to examine the firewall setting on both your laptops and try to spot any differences. there should be an error code. wait for the log on process to time-out.

YI SG

oh well, all the best! Cool

Maurince SG

Yah, i was waitin for the error code.. but the page onie stuck in 'signing in'..
waited ard 10 mins, still the same status.. reinstall a few times with same results.. tink mi ibm still haf the specs for running the live messager.. thks for ur help too dude.. xie xie..
