windows live messenger trouble

Try clearing your temporary windows live folder from the temp folder, it usually fixes most errors, I tend to do it every month..

Anyway, to do this:

Close any instances of messenger that are currently open, then push the windows icon as well as R, it should open up Run, proceed and type "%temp%" (without the quotes) It should open a folder. Proceed and delete the folder labeled "MessengerCache". You can delete "Messenger Pics" and "messenger voice" if you wish, doesn't matter. Restart if you wish, that doesn't matter either.

If you don't have the windows icon on your keyboard, go to start type run and do what I said above.

Quick note: I'm on windows 7, so the folders could possibly be renamed differently on Vista or XP. If that's the case simply delete anything named "messenger" or "windows live" and it would be the same.

sorry that didnt work either
 
I had this problem once.

In fact after many hours of searching, i found something that it was the fault of MSN servers ... Oo

Well, try another server (I was using a software that was hacking msn to connect to another server, I don't remember the name sry).

You don't have that much. Right click on "My Computer" or "Computer" and click properties; the resulting screen should show how much RAM you have somewhere. Right click on "Local Disk" or "C:\" and click properties; the resulting dialogue should tell you how much HDD space you have.

Can you tell me your operating system? Is it XP? Is it Vista? Is it 7? Is it OSX?

Also, run a virus scan using your Anti-Virus. I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free. Also, run a Malwarebytes Scan.

Chances are it might be a virus if changing the firewall settings, resetting the router/internet connection, repairing WLM, reinstalling WLM, clearing the temp folder, and running wlarp.exe don't work.
