Summary: MSN Messenger can be told to not interrupt you with alerts when you're doing something else. The option apparently defaults to "on". Why did MSN Messenger stop alerting me to new messages? Did you upgrade messenger lately? Then it's probably because it thought you were busy doing something important, like playing a game. At least that's what happened to me. • A new option appeared in version 6, I believe, in Tools->Options->Personal labled "Show me as Busy and block my alerts when I'm running a full-screen program, such as a slide presentation". I've also experienced this running a game or a Remote Desktop client session. And it apparently defaults to "on". Turn that off, and you should be getting those all important instant messages interrupting you once again. • Recent Comments
How do I upgrade the messenger to the latest version? Posted by: Annette at June 17, 2004 06:21 PMJust download the new version and install. http://ask-leo.com/d-30916a will take you to the download page. Posted by: Leo at June 17, 2004 08:22 PMWhen I log onto MSN Messenger it checks my email for 'unread mail' and appears to monitor for 'new' email. Click on the dropdown menu next to your name and go to Personal Settings at the bottom. Then go to Alerts and Sounds and untick the third option "Display alerts when email is received" Posted by: Big G at August 16, 2006 10:29 AMWhen i turn the pc on it shows the 3 family profiles, and next to the name it shows if you have any unread msn messenger email's. I found the answer, it's a regedit that is required. Posted by: John at June 14, 2007 11:46 PMWhen contacts come online it usually notifies u but i turned this off, and now i dont know how to turn it back on!! I hear the sound when someone comes online but i dont see the little popup box. Someone pls help! Posted by: Chloe at September 26, 2007 09:13 AMIs there a log kept on my computer of all the pop-up alerts when someone comes online? For example, lets say I just came online and the little window pops up saying I am online. Is there a log kept of that somewhere on the recipients computer? Not that I know of. -Leo Posted by: Cho at July 29, 2008 11:00 AM Post a comment on "Why did MSN Messenger stop alerting me to new messages?":
