Here Today... Gone To Hell!

my messenger keeps closing down its shows me the text "windows have found a problem with msn messenger and needs to close it down" or something like this. it appears that all started after getting the Internet Explorer 8 . i have read on the web different things, one of them its to unnistal the IE8, but some persons have this problem with IE7 also, i have unistalled and reinstalled the messenger, but its the same.

any help?

it's because you are still trying to use the old messenger icon or link or whatever, which was disabled when you downloaded the upgrade.

from your START menu ... choose PROGRAMS ... then choose WINDOWS LIVE ... then choose and right click on WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER and choose SEND TO ... DESKTOP (shortcut)

that'll put the upgraded icon/link on your desktop

I had an MSN messenger one time that u could program a song into everyone on your list and it would play that song when they logged on

now I got some shitty Windows Messenger and when I go to MSN, It feels like learning a foreign language trying to figure out how to DL the new one.

i have done that, i was using the new messenger, when it started with the problems i deleted everything, the old and new messenger and reinstalled the version 7. but after a day the same problem started again.  i can use the messenger but suddenly the text appears and it gets closed.

I'm not sure I understand.  Are you trying to use the Windows Live Messenger with IE7 instead of IE8?

Maybe (and I'm only guessing) that's the issue?  Maybe Windows Live Messenger will ONLY work with IE8.

well now im using an old version of the messenger, and i am using the IE8. but the reazon why i am using an older messenger is because the newest one started giving me problems.  so i had the newest messenger and the newest explorer, and thats where the problem started. so i deleted the messenger and installed an older version (to see if that was the problem) but the same thing happened. i think that the IE8 its the one that provokes the problem with the messenger, it doesnt matter if its the newest or an older version.

thanks for trying to help me, and sorry for my english.

can you delete the IE8 and re-install the IE7 too?

I've been trying to research the issue but haven't found any solution yet.  :-\


P.S.  It was problem itself that I didn't understand.  Your English is just fine  : ok:

My MSN messenger stopped working a few months ago, same deal with AIM.

There's always the web-based messenger, but that thing blows lung chunks.  It cuts off half my sentences, and the windows close on me for no reason.

The AIM web messenger just doesn't work for me, period.

I knew all that porno would catch up to me.

thanks  :peace:

i will try to reinstall explorer 7 to see if that works, i was enjoying the new explorer but i guess i have to let it go.

either nuke the computer and start over or better yet just get a new one!

It's gonna have a rock n' roll exit.  Gonna throw that sumbitch out of a hotel window all dramatic-like. 

Cameras will be rolling.
