Hi guys,

Some of the errors could be caused by problems on your system. However, recently msn had been doing some maintenance on their server. Yesterday i was getting errors for a few hours before getting back on last night. Now today i getting a different error. So one way ot know for sure if it is not your system that is acting up is ask you friends before uninstalling and doing other stuff to your pc.

Hi,

A few minutes ago I couldn't sign onto my MSN Messenger. It kept on saying that there is and error "80072eff". I called a few of my friends and they said they couldn't get on. I tryed a few things and all of a sudden it signed me on:

1) Restart Computer

2) Sign on MSN account

3) If it don't work, press retry a few times, and eventually you'll sign on
