TadXP Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 My @MSN email address is acting weird. First of all, where it usually says, "You have (12) New email messages" it says "Go To My Email Inbox" and when I click on the go to my email inbox, it opens Outlook Express. Last night it kept changing my status to busy. I have reinstalled MSN 6 and made sure it was the most up to date version. I ran a virus scan, and I have also tried MSN Explorer and it doesnt display how many messages I have, but I can click on the Email button and it will take me to my Inbox. Please can anyone help me????? This is really annoying and I would like it to be fixed very soon. Thank you everyone for all the help (I hope I get) in advance.

"Last night it kept changing my status to busy.> This can happen because MSN Messenger thinks you're using a full-screen application and therefore shows your status as busy (This feature was introduced in MSN Messenger 6x).I have reinstalled MSN 6 and made sure it was the most up to date version. > Depending on how you reinstall MSN Messenger 6x +, it can corrupt the new installation (see thread: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...l=MSN+Messenger )To help you further you haven't provided enough information about your computer. I don't know which version of MSN Explorer, MSIE, MSOE, Messenger (Build version), Windows version and any hotfixes and updates you have. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belto Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 if you are still using msn6 then you have to get a hold of a newer version. maybe msn7. msn8 is a paid service now. it is a software problem and beside M$ pulled off thier msn6/7 long time ago so you have to find anouther place that has this in their archives. they want you to suscribe to msn8!

TadXP Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 I have all the hotfixes and all the updates from Windows Update! My MSN Messenger 6 Build # is 6.0.0602. My Build Number for IE is 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633. I think this is the build number of MSN Explorer 7.02.0005.2202. The Windows Messenger 5 version is 5.0.0381. Windows XP is up to date. It really started happening when I downloaded Limewire and told it to use Java Runtime for IE. I will try messing around with that, and btw I have signed into my account on a friends computer and it does the exact same thing???? Could it still be a software issue. My @hotmail account works fine. Thanks for all the help so far. Edit- It has also been telling me that I am signed in at another location and it signs me out. No one, I repeat no one knows my password. I don't know what's going on. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TadXP Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 Thanks for the help everyone. I tried MSN Messenger 6.1 and it still didnt fix things. I made another MSN account and it did the same thing. I just made a hotmail account, but I needed the MSN to do business on Ebay, but oh well. Anyway thanks for all the help. I appreciate it.
