    I've been having problems logging on to MSN Messenger on and off for the past two days now, with today locking me out entirely. Even the Service Status page nine times out of ten will not show, instead giving the error "this website is too busy to handle your request". What on earth is going on here - surely if Microsoft/MSN are pushing Messenger so hard they'd make sure they had the ability to cope with the demand? :confused: Presumably this Trillian thing still needs to log you on to MSN, so wouldn't help me? :~ Argh!

    Back to email then. Maybe this is the end result of all the lawsuits? StingerOS+Java+Drm = no messenger for you!

      It's kinda funny to see how much our world has changed since Internet got big around 1994... We rely on Internet so much nowadays, could you imagine returning 8 years back in time? :omg: I can't even imagine my life without Internet... :~ --------------- Tired of Spam?

I actually started watching the TV more. Now it seems that computers just don't do anything without net access. Half the aplications refuse to work unless they are connected and most games require internet access to play. So I find no use for my computer without a net conection except work, and even that uses it a lot. LukeV wrote: could you imagine returning 8 years back in time?

        I was about to post the same message. It sucks that it's down, but I'm glad it's not just me. Hopefully they will fix it soon. Jon Sagara When I want something, I just go out and buy it. That makes me a go-getter. -- My sister

            As long as CP stay's up its not so bad (touch wood), if that went down then we'd be screwed.

              Did you installed DirectX 9 and have a DSL/Cable router? DirectX 9 updates your OS with new uPnP software and some routers have a hard time to cope with it. If that's the case, get the latest firmware for the router. Frank http://www.frankliao.com

                    According to .NET MEssenger Service Status it is: .NET Messenger Service Minor difficulties hmmm..... how do they class the fact that no one can use it as a "Minor difficulty", more like "Major fcuk up" to me.

                      I don't know, it would force more people to use decent IM's like Sonork. The main reason why ppl use MSN a lot is because it is easily availiable to windows users.

                        Now, see - that's why you don't work for Microsoft. Not being able to use the software is trivial, there's *piles* of software no-one can use lying around for one reason or another. If in this case people actually *want* to use the software, well then that's free publicity almost, reminding the public that they really *do* want MS software, and so why not go buy more of it, eh? "Major fuck-up" would be more along the lines of MSN Messenger deleting all your files and then launching nukes at your home... ;)

                                      Forget military invasion, just let anyone you don't like use MSN, it'll soon have them sorted out :-)

                                      We brought out this new and very similar version of our expensive software because the old version was......old....It's a good enough excuse for Microsoft so its fine for us.

                                        I've been having problems logging on to MSN Messenger on and off for the past two days now, with today locking me out entirely. Even the Service Status page nine times out of ten will not show, instead giving the error "this website is too busy to handle your request". What on earth is going on here - surely if Microsoft/MSN are pushing Messenger so hard they'd make sure they had the ability to cope with the demand? :confused: Presumably this Trillian thing still needs to log you on to MSN, so wouldn't help me? :~ Argh!

                                        not messenger itself but hotmail has been a pile of bull dung while tryig to access it via OE or the web unless I turn of IM and then the damn thing turns itself back on again when I open OE

                                        Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
                                        But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong
