i signed into msn messenger 7.0 and being on it for about 10 minutes, it cuts me off and when i try and sign back in, it's tell me about 80072efd. what is that and why aren't they unable to sign me in. they don't even tell you why and give no explanation.
so what's wrong y i can't sign into msn messenger?

Yep I frequently receive a similar error message but sometimes i get different ones if i try over and over again. In the past I could sign on in MSN web messenger instead but now that page doesn't load. I don't think that the fault is just in MSN 7.0 Beta though because I cannot log on using windows messenger (equivalent of version 3 or 4 I think - can't remember that far back though) either.

I think that microsoft are making changes in their servers which require the servers to be disconnected and so they have less bandwidth for large periods of time, this means that with all the people trying to sign on and off they are unable to process these and the connections just time out. The changes are probably to allow for new functions of MSN 7.0.

i want msn! the beta thingy wont work!

I am having the same problem signing into BETA, but the error code is 80070193. It also says that the server is too busy, but when I check the .Net Messenger Status Page, it says that the server is working just fine. I just want to know how this can be fixed.

I've the same problem as Mathew. I live in the Netherland and there I've the same problem. All thing are right but when I try to sign in, then comes the code 80070193. I had an old version of msn and that has the same problem. Now I have version 7 beta and it isn't go away.

What is wrong????
