MSN Messnger 7.5 installation failure
I am running Windows XP SP2, but have found that whenever I try to install
the 'new' MSN 7.5 (I currently have MSN 7.0), the installation fails. Basically the progress bar gets to about 80% complete, then stops. Eventually I get a message telling me 'server not responding', and although it gives me the option to retry, when I do nothing happens. Any suggestions...? |

MSN Messnger 7.5 installation failure
Greetings Paul,
Since you can't immediately login, remember that you can try logging into the Web Messenger, at least until you can restore your normal Messenger functionality: http://webmessenger.msn.com However, here are some suggestions you should check/try if you haven't already. 1. If you haven't done so already, upgrade to the latest version of MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com/download 2. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that the time and date are set. 3. If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the correct case (uppercase or lowercase). 4. Change your password @ https://login.passport.com/ChangePW.srf to something smaller (under 10-12 characters), then try signing in again. 5. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc. ), it's possible that Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you upgraded. You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall if this is the case. 6. If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger -- try restarting it and see if that helps the situation. You also might try uninstalling an installed firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a problem (even if it is disabled). 7. Clear your IE cache and cookies -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then click the Delete Files button, and when that's complete click the Delete Cookies button. 8. Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check for server certificate revocation" is unchecked. Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL 3.0' is checked, then click OK. 9. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following: regsvr32 softpub.dll then click OK and do the same for the following: regsvr32 wintrust.dll regsvr32 initpki.dll regsvr32 MSXML3.dll -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.
