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!
Lee

Re: Annoying MSN Messenger 6.2 problem
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?

Re: Annoying MSN Messenger 6.2 problem
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
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.

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!!

Re: Annoying MSN Messenger 6.2 problem
In 6.2 - go to Tools > Options > General (Tab)
The display pop-up options are located there - are they ticked ?

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