hmmm..... in msn msg 7.5 .. go to ..tools-options-connection - connection trouble shooter..... or... in the same tab ...try to setup sumtin that way ..... IF you can get in there......

if not.... ... use winxp (if you have a dual-boot) and config it that way ...... OR just try using the MSN Messenger from the winxp partition ..... again only if you have a dual-boot ....

Ohh and BTW ..... welcome the Neowin!

I think it might be becase i have a SBS2003 server as a domin controler and i joined its domin i dont know why that would efect it.

also about the dual boot this is just a test comp i have some others i can use msn on but i was just wondering if there was a fix 2 it.

My Windows Vista comp is a 3200+ AMD Athlon, 80GB Maxtor (with to partions one for data one for sys), 1GB Crutial RAM, Lite-On DVD Burner, Lite-On 52x Burner.

When i try to use MSN Messenger 7.5 Beta 244 it gives me an error message saying "Signing in to MSN Messenger (BETA) failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." but when i do the connecion troubleshooter everything comes back fine. I dont get it other than my NIC Card dont show any recieved packets but the internet works and everything.

thats strange .... hmm ... nic card doesn't show any packets recieved.... weird.... but they are sending... i think it does sound like a firewall issue. ... .. other than configuring it (which i assume you might have tried already) ... what about turning it off.. wait a few sec ....then turning it back on ...

I also had this problem, and I'm sure other people have it too, but I figured I wont wait for it to just go away, the steps I managed to use to resolve it was.

Ran regsvr32 softpub.dll wintrust.dll initpki.dll

Realised initpki.dll wasnt in my vista build

Copied it from a Windows XP installation

Ran regsvr32 initpki.dll

and it worked.

I noticed that my DNS was a bit slow and not working too well, and I have a feeling that DLL had something to do with it. I just googled the error message to find out what other people did to fix it, that was it, realised the dll wasnt there, replaced it and it worked, hopefully this will help other people with similar problems :)

The only problem I'm having is that certain sounds don't work. Wink sounds work, but normal event sounds don't. They are displayed in my sound scheme, and I can play the sounds from the sound scheme dialog box. They just don't play in Messenger.

There is a bug with MSN Messenger 7.5 that if you log out or hibernate/stand by and then try to sign back into MSN, it will not work. I am not sure why. I say the bug will be fixed by the time its released the beta to the public in a few days
