Default Windows Messenger 5.1 new sign-on problem

Thanks for the prompt reply!
I had one client test it and it worked for solving the logging in problem.
I'll test a bit further and will report back.

Anyone with ideas about the repeated Display Name prompt?

We have recently seen this issue crop up at one of our client sites.
One fix I have seen that might help with the automatic sign-on process
hanging is to modify the registry setting for the server address to
which MSN is trying to connect. The registry key can be found at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MessengerService\. Edit the String "Server" to
read messenger.hotmail.com;64.4.34.200:1863

I still don't know what is causing the repeated Display Name prompt,
but I am thinking it is something being forced down by Microsoft for
security reasons.

Let me know if that helps.
