I've used every build of MSN Messenger 7.5 on 2 computers and had absolutely no problems with them.

Even my g/f usually updates when I tell her about a new build, and she had no probs with any, and any of the friends that have gotten the 7.5 builds from me haven't had any probs either.

Seems weird that so many people here seem to be having problems, lol.

I'm having a problem with MSN Messenger aswell.. Although not exactly like yours.

Whenever I boot into windows and try to login, it fails. I must browse on the internet(like going in to neowin) before I can login..

Didn't have that problem before :/

I had the same problem and I found out that Messenger Plus was causing the problem. I noticed that my e-mail adress that I entered in the (new) logon screen of 7.5 was replaced by my name when I hit the Enter-button. Then I got the same error as described here. My wife and I both use Messenger on the same computer, with both our own preferences in Msgplus. We both have the "Custom Names" active in the Contact List. What happened is that Msgplus recognizes my e-mail address, which is in my wife's contact list. It then replaces the e-mail address with the custom name my wife gave me and Messenger tries to log on. Since the name/password combination doesn't exist, the Messenger service shows the above error. Apparently Msgplus is not fully compatible with MSN 7.5 yet. Temporary solution is to deactivate custom names in Msgplus, until Patchou straightens this out. Maybe this works for you too.

I use the latest and final versions of both programs (7.5.0299 & 3.54.132)

ive been having the same problem - it wont connect on either of my computers (they are directly networked and share the ADSL connection).

Whenever 7.5 troubleshoots and repairs the connection -on either machine - it drops the network - leaving my 2nd computer with no internet and no printer etc...

This is kinda strange 'cos all of the beta versions connected fine on both machines ( XP home sp2 and XP pro sp2) - my network is connected via bluetooth.p

I wasnt told about a beta for 0299 either - unless this is MS's way of releasing a public beta???

***edit***

no, i dont have messenger plus installed on either machine, so im guessing this isnt entirely the problem.

I have the same problem here, it was in the BETA I reported it and they have done **** all about it! I wish i could roll back to msn 6.:(:(

Do you have Messenger Plus! installed? It could be causing the problem...

ok, this might interest some of you, ive just looked on the net, and 0299 was put into beta testing - on the same day as it went final - looks like they just removed the BETA tag:

MSN Messenger 7.5.0299 FINAL (August 24, 2005)

MSN Messenger 7.5.0299 BETA (August 24, 2005)

MSN Messenger 7.5.0244 BETA (August 03, 2005)

MSN Messenger 7.5.0162 BETA (July 22, 2005)

MSN Messenger 7.5.0160 BETA (July 20, 2005)

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
