I have been having trouble with msn for the past couple of days....slow, non responsive, tells me I have mail, and yet will not let me read it....inst message does not give me options, tells me who is on line etc but I cant do anything about it.&nbsp; I got tired of this crap and googles msn....they have a crisis on thier hands looks like or at least did....just thought that I would let you know....I know that some of you were having probs for sure. Just thought I would let you know...<IMG src="smileys/smiley14.gif" border="0">

Yup, I have been having problems with it all week, mostly it keeps telling me I have no internet connection and it won't let me sign in. But at the same time, I'm on the internet, so yes, my internet connection is working. Grrrrr. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0">

<font color="magenta">Me too, it's been a real pain, I tried to e-mail an assignment in and it wouldn't let me. It wouldn't sign in, or would sign out right away, etc..... <br /> <br />Hopefully it's fixed for good!

Don't you just love Microsoft? <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0"> <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley11.gif" border="0"> I have switched my internet browser to Firefox, most sites work great with it. I am considering starting to use their email program and just saving Outlook for appointments etc. so I can synchronize with my Palm Pilot. I use messenger once in a while but I also use Yahoo messenger. I have my own website hosted independently so as long as I can get on the internet I can get my email directly from their server. And I refuse to run automatic updates on my operating system, too many of those patches cause worse problems than they fix!!

Whew! well that is a relief, I though that I would be the only one on here that noticed a big difference...it is so comforting to have company in my misery&nbsp; lol<IMG src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0">&nbsp; like a dummy when I saw that update message I tried to download it and had to cancel in mid stream, so that did not&nbsp; help matters at all....the message never showed up again...now I don't know where I stand 'cept I don't think is working right yet....Oh well I will try to be patient....<IMG src="smileys/smiley7.gif" border="0">

MSN seems to be working ok this morning, so hopefully that's a good sign. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"> <br /> <br />Elizabeth, I'm also a firefox girl, absolutely love it, works with most sites great and you don't get pop-ups or anything. I come to appreciate it more and more when I use someone else's computer and encounter problems, then go back to my own. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0">

Well that just sucks the good out of a perfectly fine day...!! I still cannot get my msn to work like it should...now it could be the server..sometimes it is slower than molasses. I guess I should not put all the blame in one spot we must share here...<IMG src="smileys/smiley11.gif" border="0">

They've just installed a MUST HAVE update that you need to download before opening anything including hotmail accounts.&nbsp;
Everything should be going tickety boo about now.

Yup, I had to install it too. It said I MUST do it or I would lose MSN. I did it!&nbsp; I had a problem last week (Friday I think), but it's been alright since then.
