I have been having trouble with MSN Messenger since I upgraded to version 6.0 (I'm running 6.2 now). I even followed the recommendation to completely uninstall the previous version before installing the new one.
The problem is this....
Whenever I select the "sign in" button, whether the primary button, or if I use another email address (I have a few), it freezes. The hourglass appears for a second, then changes back to the arrow, as though it is finished logging in, but I can't do anything for several more seconds (sometime 30 or more). I can open other programs with no trouble, so it's not something else in the system hanging. It has to be Messenger. I tried going back to version 5.0, which worked fine before, but thanks to Microshaft, I can't use an older version. Leave it to them to screw up a perfectly functioning program and then force everyone to use it. But.... I'm rambling.
Any help would be appreciated.
