  • Windows live mail does not connect to internet

    Windows live mail does not connect to the internet, keeps telling me that I'm working in offline mode, and then does not connect when there is a link.

    Try to check the setting of Internet Explorer offline.  It just open IE, press alt to display the menu bar, then click on file and make sure that 'Work offline' at the bottom is not checked.

    Also just good habit, make sure that you are on the latest version of the application by downloading the package at http://get.live.com.

  • Windows live messenger does not work with Windows vista on the desktop but on laptop

    I tried to remove and then reloading the whole windows live package.  But windows vista is blocking windows live Messenger every time dang.  These are the claims that it is closed by the DEP program.  Why is it that if it is part of windows or a windows program? And why my computer laptop isn't a problem with it, but in my office?  And I tried to add windows live messenger in the list of DEP programs, as indicated by the stupid help window and he ALWAYS breaks it.  is - anyone has a SOLUTION? I really want to chat with my friends on my desktop and I can't do it directly from the website (which is annoying).  I even downloaded the new version of messenger with the same results of DEP crash.

  • 8007371c with windows update error code. Vista Home Premium 32-bit system.

    I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit system and I have problems with windows update since early April.

    The system attempts to update 2807986 KB, 2809289, 2808735, 2820917, 2813345, 890830 (eventually successful), 2817183, 2813170 and 2823324. These will not update after many trials and the system will display an error message saying that some changes could not be completed, returning from changes, will try again on start up, do not turn off.

    On reboot, it gives the message that the updates are not configured correctly, returning changes, do not turn off. I get the 8007371c error code in the popup window windows update but can't find specific information on this code. Help please!

  • my windows live messenger does not work. HELP__its been like this for months now!

    Hello so I tried to understand what is the problem with my msn, but I can't understand it!
    whenever I am trying to connect, he said: "we cannot connect to Windows Live Messenger, signing windows live messenger failed because the service is temporill unavailable, please try again later.
    the "error code" is: 8e5e05f6

    but the thing is if one of my friends try to to connect to my computer (using the same msn just for their account) it works! Help?

    and also when I try to look for it in my uninstall programs, my computer can not find what it... as there is no! but when I try to install a new msn from the internet it is said that I installed everything already! so please help! its driving me crazyyyyy!

    What WLM version do you use?  I think the latest version is Version 2009 (Build 14.0. 8009 7. 26)

    Windows Live Messenger will appear in programs and features in Windows Live Essentials, you click on it and follow the instructions in the wizard.

    If that's the problem with just your user login then that may need to be set at the end of the Server supported by WLM, or you can create a new Net Passport for yourself.

    I have error 8e5e05f6 of code for the new msn live messenger. Today's date is March 21, 2009. I need help! Anyone?

  • Windows Live Messenger does not

    Live messenger worked without any problems until about 3-4 days ago on my laptop. I was chatting with a friend and checked my email and when I disconnected it came with an error message saying "Windows Live Messenger has stopped working" and then he went to look for a solution and she came back with "a problem caused blocking the program works correctly, windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Now, whenever I click on messenger to bring it up it gives me the same message each time, I can however check my hotmail (Internet explorer), but can't chat and video conference.

    I had no problem before, and to make matters worse exactly the same thing happened tonight on my desktop computer. I tried to uninstall and reinstall on the two always get the same error message (as mentioned above) always on the laptop and the desktop each time that I clik on Live Messenger chat or video conference and can get to hotmail.

    My laptop Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2 64-bit OS, my office is that Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit OS.

  • Windows Live Messenger does not work on my HP Touchsmart Windows 7 computer

    I can't get windows live messenger to work on my new computer windows 7 HP touchsmart.  I only use msn before that.  When troubleshooting it says to check my proxy settings in messenger options.  Well, there is no 'options' tab to select, then no idea even where to choose from.  I tried to go to "start," "programs" then windows live messenger, but it doesn't open the sign in page - no option at all, even if the right click.

    Very frustrating to say the least.  I can not even find where to go to the microsoft Web page to ask for help to fix this problem.

    I even turned off my firewall setting and that did not help.  When I checked my firewall, it says windows live Messenger had permission - so I don't think it's that.

    I am considering removing the Messenger program just as he ceases to appear to connect but it does not work!
