Few days ago for no apparent reason I couldn't sign in to messenger. Though I can normally access to my email account. So no the email wasn't hacked. And no messenger was working fine, since I can sign-in to another account without a problem. So what was the trick ? Few weeks ago, someone had a similar problem, but it went away after few days. Is anyone facing any sign-in problems lately?

After some googling, I found a solution.

All there has to be done is delete the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\ Policies

Source (http://www.edbott.com/weblog/?p=1515)

Notice: Do not attempt this if you do not have an problems. Only do so when the you are not able to sign-in with 1 account, while you cant with another.

how can i do that if u dont mind explainin ! me no good at this

I haven't faced any problems whatsoever. Didn't have to change any registry entries either. Sure its not an ISP related issue, DD?

no problems here ..

btw why do u have multiple accounts :6: .. u should be banned

yea i agree he should be banned from homtail

No one should delete this key if they aren't facing the same problem!

Navigator: The steps are:

1- click Start
2- click on Run
3- Type Regedit
4- browse as the folder structure of the following: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\ Policies
5- right-click on the folder Policies and delete
6-close regedit.

P.s - It would be better if messenger wasn't running in your systray.

Shinoda LP: I am not sure how messenger users get the problem. But as I mention I know someone who got the same problem few weeks ago and now I had it. And the guy in the source faced the same problem. It's not a virus, it appears more like a bug. And it can't be the ISP, since I can open any other account with no problems.

Professor: Does hotmail has a policy against multiple accounts??

thanx for explainin' it DD

I know the reason for this problem, it is Sun Java, remove it and install Microsoft Java, then everything will be fine (Inshallah)!

Haroundb: I didn't have Sun Java or any Java installed on my PC when I had the problem. So, perhaps the problem that is solved by your suggestion is for a another or a similiar issue.

This was the reason I found for MSN Life! not logging and that was the fix.

Haroundb:Then we have now two possible solutions, inshallah -In Allah's Will- at least one of them will be helpful.
