Hi ACE,

It is not in one of the 50 applications, I know that for sure, because I
updated my iPaq with the new ROM (v 1.10.10) some time ago and after that
and reinstalling all of my applications (one by one) the MSN Messenger DID
work.
Now, the MSN Messenger suddenly does not work anymore. In the meantime (from
updating and installing all of the applications till now) I did not
install/remove applications from my iPaq, so what can be the problem then?

I hope you can give me the answer...
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Sander Gerding. (The Netherlands)
