Messages on MSN messenger stop going through

From my MSN messenger there is no way I can send or receive instant messages. Right now I am using the Windows live messenger Version 2011 (15.4.3538.513) on my Windows XP SP3. The messages just stopped going through. I had done everything to fix this issue but no result. I am still getting error message saying that cannot send messages. I tried re-installing multiple times, tried with latest and older version also. It just really doesn’t work in my case. What should I do now?

Did you try using the different Live ID instead? As far as I know that you should change the messenger if it is currently on the latest version. Every time installing and re-installing does not fix the problem. It surely seems like you have messed up with your settings. Did you try the web-based messenger? Are you having the same kind of problem there while accessing through the web browser? Are you sure that the version of Windows live messenger Version 2011 is compatible with your Windows XP. I think that it is only compatible with latest Windows vista and Windows 7.

During the un-installation make sure to get rid of all contacts folder as well as the entire messenger folder. Now run the System File Checker Re-install. Remove contact from Live Messenger then sign out. Delete the old contact and create a new one with the same name if possible. Now sign in and see whether the issue still persist of not.

Sometimes the messenger showed sign in but it doesn’t actually connect to your Live account or server. So check the connection using the netstat command using command prompt. If you seen any problem there, or if your Windows live messenger does not listed there, try to connect it once again and see what happens. Also make sure that the Windows firewall or any other which you have installed is not blocking the traffic in and out of the MSN messenger.

Whenever you get any problem regarding the Windows live or its messenger you should directly fire a query on there and the moderators will right away response you regarding the issue. If the servers are off-line or under maintenance, then also they will inform you about that. Moreover if your account has put in the spam list due to any reason, you cannot send any mails to anyone through that account. That means, your account intentionally or unintentionally violated the Windows live terms of use and they have banned or may be blocked your account permanently. Reply With Quote
