every other time youve had a problem, you just format, so why not try it again? haha, wear it!

make your parents proud for once, fix it yourself

Yeah, i would just format. It fixes ANY problem and cleans up your disk. Also only takes about 15 or 20 minutes...

But re-installing drivers and software can take a while, and im also curious wat causes the problem because it happens and then a few weeks later it will fix itself?

Forums are meant for sharing knowledge, obviously you'r arrogance has blinded you to this fact.

7.5 has never worked for me. I've tried it on different machines and before and after formats, to no avail. I use 6.2 instead, works like a bomb.

It is odd, i think it has something to do with flash and those new dynamic backgrounds.

I use 7.5 and i've never had a problem...

Same here!

Wouldn't that be considered a problem

actually Cookie I would also be interested in the outcome.. on my old machine i used both 6.2 nd 7.5 and 7.5 has been "unavailable" and wanted me to change all kinda things (after working for a while).... until it stopped while 6.2 just kept on going. My firewall is set up (on the old and also the new) machine NOT to go to M$ unless I ask for it...

cOokie_mOnster · Post by **cOokie_mOnster** » 22 Mar 2006, 17:55

i'm not even using a firewall at the moment, so it's confusing.

Any idea were i can dowload older versions from?

I haven't had the same problems as you have had, but I've found MSN 7.5 particularly slow in some cases.

I'm using 7.5.0324, and especially when I'm webcaming with friends and family overseas, it sucks up alot of resources.

My PC Specs are P4 3.4GHz, 1GB RAM, Radeon 9700.

MSN has crashed on me a few times already, and I had to restart MSN.

Maybe they'll fix everything with Windows Live, or whatever there new service is being called.

Later,

Try using Messenger Live! ... it'll give you 50 more problems, and randomly sign you out, and then hang on occasion, not to mention not send half your messages at times... but then again... it is still in development and (beta) phases...
