MSN Messenger 7.5 not singing in. 7.0 works fine
Well, the message to upgrade just got too annoying, so I decided to upgrade
my version to 7.5, I've tried multiple builds (306, 311 and 322) and they all come up with an error "Signing in to MSN Messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." Error code is 80048883 My housemate can log in fine pver the wireless network using 7.5, and my 7.0.0816 logs in ok too. Just when I try anything of 7.5 upwards. The login text is slow to update and whether I get it to go through a proxy, or direct connect, it is still the same. On testing the connection it comes up with green ticks across the board, and says I am connected to the internet through a wireless network connection. I had zonealarm installed, but I tried turning it off, on, getting it to re-find Messenger and nothing... so it got uninstalled. Multiple reboots.... nothing I flushed the DNS cache, removed cookies, made sure ssl 2 and 3 are enabled in ie, and even regeistered the DLLs suggested in other posts. Nothing.... I can always go back to 7 but it really should work, and without a clue as to what is causing it, its going to continue being a problem unless I try and sort it. Any Help/suggestions appreciated. |

MSN Messenger 7.5 not singing in. 7.0 works fine
Yes, I've done that successfully, but it doesnt resolve the issue that I'm
having with 7.5. Presumably I will not be able to upgrade past 7.0 until this issue has resolved. Thanks for the feedback tho. I am having trouble installing the latest version of DirectX, it gives an issue about cryptography saying it cant verify one of the cabinet files. I cant get the exact error message because I'm at work, but could it be a crypt issue causing this?

MSN Messenger 7.5 not singing in. 7.0 works fine
OK, I got it working fine now. It was a crypto problem.
Having gone through a massive list of possible solutions from a rather informative article on microsoft support.... http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;822798 this was the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=555374 basically when I went into Internet explorer and looked at my certificates (Microsoft Root Certificate) I noticed it was displaying an error on the first screen saying something about no rights to run the crypto service.... hey presto, ran that through google and came up with the solution pasted above.... Hope it helps someone else It also got rid of the really slow typing issue for me YEY |

MSN Messenger 7.5 not singing in. 7.0 works fine
We have also upraded to 7.5 and are getting the 80048883 error. Can't
find a resolution anywhere... and when MSN was contacted, they sent me an email on how to disable our firewall... NO firewall even installed... at all. So, that's not going to matter much. I have also registerd the suggested dll's, uninstalled and removed Registery settings, dumped cache, reinstalled, etc. Can't find a 7.0 or earlier installer .... HELP. |
