I'm using MSN 5.1 which keeps logging off and when logging back on continually asks for my display name, on and on. Pain in the derrier.
Tried all the options and don't really want Live and all the crap that comes with it, maybe anyone knows an alternative?
Tks

Funnily enough, I was watching an advert for a Windows Mobile phone recently and wondered to myself if anyone ever actually used MSN (since I don't know any afik).

So that's one mystery solved. tongue2

But, as you can probably guess, I'm not going to be much help regarding the problem. unsure

Oh it's that thing (messenger). Cool

I thought it was something to do with the whole web portal. (I haven't used messenger in years either)

I've heard of a few people recently having real issues with getting on to MSN. Seems to be some bug that prevents all sign-in :\

I don't know more than that, and i could be though a matter of phishing and people haven't realised!

Changed to Live Messenger, problem solved. I only use it with my suppliers.
They seem to be MSN crazy over here
