Sounds like your computer is fuxored. You better buy a new one.

Maybe the other person isn't online, and the service now doesn't pay to queue messages?

they are online, though. i can sit there and copy-paste-send over and over again about 30 to 50 times before it finally sends. ><

i was being serious. your msn is low on titties.


Honestly... Your comp sounds in dire need of a rebuild. Like ground up reinstall of everything. Take it to Kahar's shop... Just make sure to delete your goat and child porn first.

ok I take it back.. Your computer is fine...


Problem: No one wants to chat with you.

Solution: Delete MSN messenger.

Solution 2: Buy a bunch of small magnets.. Place inside computer case and shake vigorously.

Have you run AdAware and SpyBot search & destroy and a virus checker recently? It almost sounds like you're the victim of a DNS re-direct or something, where when your system goes to look for the ip address of someplace you try and get to, it can't resolve anything until it gets to like the 3rd or 4th backup or something.

If you haven't run them recently, go get those two programs, asap, install them and run them. You might also go do the Kaspersky online virus scanner and see if it finds anything.

Links, if they work for you, for all of the above:
Kaspersky Online Virus Scanner: http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
Ad-Aware: http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot Search & Destroy: http://tomcoyote.com/SPYBOT/index1.php

All of the above are completely free, so you don't need to shell out a dime.

PS. If all else fails, I have nothing against you trying Ralf's solution. ;) *innocent whistling* rofl

Heheh, I figured as much. :) When all else fails, assume viruses and/or spyware. Did this fix your Firefox problems also? Guessing it might well have.

Now that you have those progams, you probably want to run them at least once a week or so, to keep your computer as clean as possible. You may also want to invest in a memory-resident virus scanning program, either from Norton or from MacAfee, and keep that running on your system full time. Not too expensive, fortunately, like 20-30 bucks.

Leah I had the same problem for awhile and nothing I ran ever really fixed it...it seems like it just hibernates for awhile then comes back once in awhile to tick me off, then goes away again. Sometimes I close the window and reopen it again and then it's fine. Back when it did it all the time I ended up just using yahoo or something else for awhile, stupid msn.

http://www.grisoft.com Download AVG. It's the best anti-virus around and it's free.
