ARGH.

I updated to MSN Messenger 6.2, and now it won't let me on at all! It connects me for a split second then I get this...

PZelda · 05-13-2004, 01:04 PM

And I get this when I go to the Connections tab...I AM connected to the 'net, but it's not detecting a connection

PZelda · 05-13-2004, 01:12 PM

MEANGYA. I had to do a System Restore to yesterday, because it just wasn't letting me on...I'm on 6.1 again and connected now, but I def. won't be getting 6.2 anytime soon!

Sorry for your computer woes Allison. I hate computers. I like using them, but anything beyond that drives me insane.

Hilarious thread title.

computers. I can usually solve problems on my own 'n' stuff...but ohhh man. Sometimes I just don't know what to do.

Thanks

Have you tried a System Restore? Try restoring to the day before your MSN started going wacko.

Penny Lane · 05-13-2004, 03:25 PM

I haven't connected to MSN for 2 weeks now ever since I upgraded to 6.2. That 6.2 must be the culprit! I really don't want to do a systems restore again. Allison, could you post a link to where you got 6.1? All I can find is 6.2! If I can download 6.1 again I will uninstall 6.2.Thanks!

I had to upgrade to 6.2 to stop the annoying pop up "a newer version of MSN Messenger is available for download" when I downloaded it from the link they showed me it didn't download properly, I had to uninstall the older version, then download 6.2 again, it's okay now.

contact MSN help, and see if they can help you, they've helped me many a time

I tried www.oldversion.com...Believe me, I tried EVERYTHING and a System Restore was the only thing I could do. Don't worry - it's VERY easy to do one and it won't erase anything, it just restores your computer to a point in time to BEFORE that program started screwing up...Think of it as going back in time, but keeping the stuff you saved.

It's Start > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.

Once you are there, you can select a particular day to go back to, and MSN should be fine again after that.

I had an issue with IE this morning that made me

. My computer turned wacko, it just froze all over and I had to defrost it. LOL

This ad came up and wouldn't go away and I couldn't close the page, this boxes telling me that trojans and browser hackers were being found. I got EZ antivirus, Ad aware and Spybot installed. GLad nothing happened. I guess I should also download Norton. Anyone having IE headaches??

Not me.

*crosses fingers*

Of course, we also have Norton Antivirus and download all the Windows Updates.

LOL, defrost the computer, that's a good one!
