Re: Windows Messenger for XP

sorry for my bad english

is there a problem with windows messenger 3.* to 5.1 and some XP Updates?
Beacause as i can read alot of people have problems with windows messenger.
And this problems are new...

i used windows messenger for 3-4 Years without any problem but now.. since
3-4 Months i have the same problems.
Disconnects without notify after 5-10 minutes.
The only think i can say is.. i only have it behind my router..
crazy.. because i have always used this router and there was no UPDATE for
it..and now it doesnt work anymore :(

i dont like msn messenger or live messenger.. i need windows messenger but
it doesnt work :(

the problem fist shown on December 2005

Greetings April,

This can happen in a variety of networking scenarios. Generally, using MSN Messenger (which
has a far more reliable protocol) instead of Windows Messenger which solve the issue:

Hello...I have windows mess. for xp and everytime I sign in I get signed out
automatically. It doesnt notify me that I have been signed out until I try
to send a message. Sometimes I can stay signed in for 10 minutes...sometimes
for 1 minute.....this is very annoying and I have researched how to solve the
problem....but all efforts have failed. Please if anyone can help me I would
soooooo appreciate it. P.S. I do not have any other version of msn messenger
installed on computer.
