MSN Messenger connection failure

[shall219]

I have searched through available postings, but have found nothing to help.

I have Windows Messenger 4.7 installed, and it is working fine.

I installed MSN Messenger 7.5, but I get an error from it saying the service is temporarily unavailable, and to try again later. I going into the Options --> Connection, and it says I am not connected to the .Net Messenger Service. However the troubleshooter says all is good.

Can anyone help? I prefer to use the MSN Messenger, as it is a lot more feature rich, then Windows Messenger.

ok... I figured out the issue.

If you ever feel like you are not a genius, just read this posting.

The reason my MSN Messenger would not log in, was because I did not type my passport id in correctly. :)
