Hi, at first I was having the same problem as everyone else. Only a few
contacts, but now I can't sign in at all. I ran the troubleshooting and it
said that I have an invalid I.P address. Please help me, what should I
do????

If you haven't made any changes to your system, don't start making changes
now. Wait till the issues with the servers have been resolved. So my
answer to you would be to do absolutely nothing.

Uninstall and re-install 7.5. I've yet to talk to anyone who's got the the
"live" version to behave properly.

I'm on my home network...I guess this interruption with the servers was a
blessing in disguise for you.

Hi .. This is my problem ... Windows live was working fine. I had
motherboard fixed in my computer. They also installed ZOne Alarm, Symantec
anti vuris and Spy Sweeper.. Now i get booted every 30 seconds from Windows
Live.. All the names on my list dont show up and i cant see custom emots
people send me or thier Display pics .. I can see my own Emots that i send
tho .. So now im back on msn messenger 7.5 and i still cant see the custom
emots others send me or there display pics ..MY display pic changes on its
own .. every time i sign on there is a new display pic lolol .. ONLY
difference from 7.5 messenger is and i can see all my names on my list and i
dont get booted .. It has to be a setting in one of those 3 programs they
installed .. But they cant seem to figure it out and they have no idea baout
msn messenger or Windows live .. Any Ideas ??
Thanks

Hi Susie, Are you losing your internet connection while web surfing? If
not, this seems to be a recent common occurence among WLM users...most
likely the servers are still malfunctioning causing you to lose your
connection and disappearing contacts.

In your ZoneAlarm settings make sure that MSN Messenger and WLM are allowed
to access the internet...I don't use ZA so I can't tell you exactly how to
navigate to this specific setting.

Look in the settings for your AV and spyware programs for anything that you
think might be causing a problem with your Messenger...most likely these two
programs are NOT whats causing the problem. My advice would be to wait a
day and see if things are corrected on the server side for the Messengers
before making any whole-sale changes to your system.

The connection issues and disappearing contacts with WLM have been having
the last couple of days...Maybe it's also affecting MSN 7.5 now. Are you
able to surf the web without losing the connection?
