After I downloaded the msn messenger 6.2 version I couldn't sign in anymore, the error its displaying is the following:
"We could not sign you in to Msn Messenger because your internet explorer browser cannot connect to the internet. Please check your browser's ability to connect."

I looked up the error number but couldn't find it in the messenger help topics (Error: 81000363)
Uninstalled messenger then downloaded it back again but that didn't work either.
And the thing is my browser is just fine, yahoo messenger works, ICQ works... Everything except msn messenger.

Well anyone? :?
It happened with me once.. that was because I set the internet explorer to work offline even though I am connected to the internet..
my advice to u is to double check if ur browser is connection.. open any webpage that is not in ur cach and click on connect if a message was displayed to u asking u whether to connect or to work offline
Samer ma that's exactly the problem i couldn't find that error code either! I found 81000362 but not 363...
7aRami Explorer is functional.. Tried what you proposed just in case but didn't work.
hmm .. scanned for spywares / adwares ? viruses / trojans ?

Yes that error message is correct. I have the same problem. I dunno why its happening.

You can see the error here: http://members.boards.ie/limbovski/MSN-Messenger-Error.gif

It still happens with MSN Messenger 7.0 Beta and f*cking pi$$es me off seriously.

I'm connected to the internet obviously or I wouldnt be able to post this. Im using firefox nowe but IE works also. I have it allowed in the Firewall settings...

Anyone find a solution yet?

i am having problemes with the msn 7.0 , every time i want to log in , it takes like 10 min to log in , and when it logs in , ppl can see me befor i even see my contact list , so ppl start talking to u and the server bi balish y 3ali2 . ( the only way to get rid of that is to put ur status as apear offline )
You have a huge contact list...start removing some names from it...
i dont think its the contact list , cos the msn 7.0 befor i updated it , it use to take me 1 min only
before updating to 7.0 i had the same problem. But maybe it wasn't the update, check if the partition where windows is installed has good free space.
what abt your RAMs ? have you got enough to handle a bunch of proggies?
weird try downloading msn 7.0 and check proxy settings in msn.
ill try re-installing it again
