X-Cannon Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I have a problem with my MSN messenger whenever I try to sign in it take a really long time to finish, I've reinstalled it with no luck. I've checked for spyware and viruses, and my ZA is configured to allow MSN to have internet privileges. I have a Cable connection and Win XP, SP2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vile_DR Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 The only thing I can suggest X-Cannon is maybe the IRC port on your ZA Firewall could still be blocking the requests to log on to a chat server or what not. If you have it configure for MSN messanger to go through it should recognize which ports it is going to talk over...just double check and make sure your FW isn't blocking it a little deeper...

X-Cannon Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 I just checked my ZA again and it is configured proper and the ports I don't think I need to open those, MSN was working fine just about a month ago. I have no idea why it's so slow now I hav'nt installed anything new, there is no spyware, I've tried reinstalling MSN but no luck . When I log in it takes about 20 secs than I see You Have blah # of E-Mails, than I wait another 3 mins and maybe I'm loged in . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or is it possible this started happening after you downloaded the latest version? I use Trillian and I have no problems with MSN connecting through that. Might be your client.

marko_tomas13 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Try exporting your contacts, then re-importing them, this happened to a friend once and that is what fixed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Cannon Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I just tried it without ZA on and it's the same take really long to log in msnmsgr.exe uses about 19 000kbs while MSN is trying to connect. I can see how many new E-Mail I've recieved but the MSN window with the bodies keep spinning. Everything was fine untill SOMEONE reinstalled it over the existing one, but I've uninstalled MSN and then installed it again so why is it the same?P.S. marko how do I export my contacts?

marko_tomas13 Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 That is wierd. To export, you go to contacts>save contacts. And then to import do the same thing but contacts>import contacts from a file. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Cannon Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 lol this is so wierd to make it go quicker all I have to do is log in as normal then cancel it, then log in again and it works perfect. I guess I have to do it this way from now on . Thank you everyone for your suggestions and replys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
