Neowin Alerts


Recommended Posts

Ever since this service appeared I tried to subscribe but did not succed yet. Every time I try to subscribe, when I click sign in button I get this error message (see attached picture).

Can you advise me how to make this service work?

My specs are:

Windows XP SP2 + MSN messenger 6.2

MSN 9 dial-up internet access

I appreciate any help.

That is very odd. Have you tried using a browser other than IE? I don't use IE, and it works perfectly for me. That error looks like something on the server-side, wich doesn't make any sense to me, since that would mean everyone else would be getting that error as well...

No I haven't tried any other browser except for IE and MSN (which is basically IE with skin on it)

I agree, it's strange - looks like a server bug but - everybody got subcribed - I saw no complaintes here, on Neowin... Strange?

Any other thoughts except for browser change?

It could have been a server glitch - but 3 days in a row???? No, it's something elce...

have you used tweaking tools to remove fuctionality of Windows? and are your alerts setup correctly in MSN Messenger?

and more to the point, were you considering a clean install? maybe that helps. Especially if you applied the final SP2 to an earlier SP2 version.

I clean installed and found new options on the connect dialog I never had before because I upgraded SP2 over the Release Candidates.

Just a thought.

I did not tweak windows in any way.

As for configuring Messenger - how can I do it - I didn't find any alert optinons in it...?

And the last one - clean install - I wish I could do that - but I don't have my Windows CD nearby and won't have it in the nearest future... :(
