MSN Messenger help
Posted by: Rzme0 on 07 January 2005
Hi chaps
I bought one of those webcammy gizmos today to keep in touch with my widely dispersed family over the internet .
Well, to be truthful I bought it to satisfy a transient need to buy a gadget to cheer me up and then added the family communication excuse as a justification for a needless purchase.
Anyway, my daughter suggested MSN Messenger as a means of bringing us all together and I tried to get myself hooked up with a hotmail account and .NET passport. I filled in the Microsoft forms, got my password etc and managed to get into Hotmail to pickup my complimentary welcome note from Bill.
So far so good, but when I log out of Hotmail and log back in again it doesn't know who I am, telling me my username and/or password are duff. I then get in a loop of unhelpful diagnostic suggestions that causes me to come out in a dioxin rash of rage.
Tried MSN Messenger 6.2 and 7.0. Any suggestions?
I've lost the receipt for the webcam and would hate to have spent a tenner just to be able to watch my shiny but perfectly formed head staring obliquely back at me from my screen.
cheers
