Hello guys,

my friend is having trouble with windows live messenger version 8.1 build 8.1.0178.00

when she told me about the problem.. she was also having a windows genuine problem

so i first checked the date , checked the firewall.. i turned it off, checked the advanced settings in tools ->internet option -> advanced option , require certificate (unchecked it ) and use ssl checked

i also tried clearing all the temp files in internet explorer

i googled and they gave a list of dlls to register , i registered them

but still the damn thing is not working

i did restarts to make sure the changes are applied

i even solved the genuine issue for her.. maybe the genuine was not allowing the use of msn
still no luck

so advices... tips and tricks are welcomed
post anything u may think of .. i will double check that it is true

thanks in advance for the help... i don't wanna waste more time on troubleshooting this.. and i am pretty much clueless right now

that is the price i have to pay for wanting to geekify the girls
it worked... now lama something wrong.. byitwshuleh mokhe to fix
w ma 7ada yisma3 na2 bannettt... worse than the worst clients
i did .. i did.. but she is not convinced this is msn.... msn is green :'(

well.. i told her this is for now.. and also told her on webmessenger stuff... hopefully tomorrow some lebgeekers will post tricks that would help
otherwise.. b2illa.. ma khasneh
In my Opinion MSN Messenger is a bad messenger...My brother had a lot of trouble with MSN Messenger when he was on XP last year..troubleshooting...so he used Miranda if I am not mistaken http://www.miranda-im.org/... I think she will get used to Pidgin with time..
