Annoying MSN Messenger 6.2 problem
 

Hello people,

I've got a really odd problem with MSN Messenger 6.2 -

I'm not sure whats happened, but I no longer recieve "sign-in" notifications - you know the box that normaly pops up from the system tray? Well - I don't get that anymore! As far as I can tell I have the notifications options switched on....

Ideas anybody?

Cheers!

Been told to ask ;) Have you a pop up stopper of some sort running?
When was the last time you got a notification and has anything been installed since then?
Have you tried downloading the latest version of Messenger?

6.2 is the latest :p:

Re: Annoying MSN Messenger 6.2 problem
 

I use 6.2 and get it.

What was meant was "have you tried downloading and re-installing the latest version of messenger" ;) Sorry, was on the wrong profile installing some software :p:
Have you checked task manager in case there is something running that may be blocking the notification pop ups? Pop up blockers, firewalls and even dome anti-spyware software could in theory cause a problem with them.

Do you have messenger plus?

Re: Annoying MSN Messenger 6.2 problem
 

Yes - I have got Messenger Plus - I've removed and re-installed the latest versions of both apps.

I have tried various combos of switching off notifications MSN Mess and switching on in MSGPlus - and vice versa...

Head scratching time!!

BTW - Yes - I have Google Toobar as a popup destroyer - but that been installed for ages without problems!

In 6.2 - go to Tools > Options > General (Tab)

The display pop-up options are located there - are they ticked ?

Re: Annoying MSN Messenger 6.2 problem
 

Pem - yep - required options are ticked!

Then I would guess the problem is not msn but something about your pc.

Come to think of it I have this problem too I think :confused:

Would adaware cause this to happen coz I think it only started when I
installed that :confused:

Re: Annoying MSN Messenger 6.2 problem
 

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! No we get deeper! Guess what I recently installed....!!!

:Yikes:

Correct!!! - 10 Points!

But - why should that cause an issue?

Iv'e heard adaware has been known to make mistakes from time to time, use spy bot search and destroy instead :)
