MSN Problem (1 Viewer)

[Undertoad]

When I try to log into MSN, it connects, starts to load the list of contacts and then the whole thing freezes. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Ive got the net set up running through a netgear RP614 Router.
Thanks in advance.

Whole thing as in Messenger? Or your computer?

try uninstalling and reinstalling it
if that dose not work check you connections
tool,option connection
what type of connection are you using
also check your internet explore connection

I have tried unistalling and reinstalling but that makes no difference. what do you mean by check you connections? Everything is fine under network connections. Its cable net connected through ethernet. And how do i check my internet explorer connection? thnx.

Ok thanks i will try to repair windows and i'll give it a scan. I have formated the comp a couple of times and im not sure if it fixes the problem temporarily but it always ends up coming back quickly.

Start, > Run > type %appdata%\microsoft

delete the messenger folder.

Wont that also stuff up microsoft office and stuff?

 

[Rafy]

not if you only delete the msn messenger folder...

Just to ensure what you delete doesn't affect any other program, only delete what's under the msn messenger folder and anything else DON'T DELETE especially if you're not sure what it is.
