Title: MSN kills my internet?
Post by: MSNsucks on May 07, 2010, 05:33:11 PM

Okay so. I have a Windows Vista Compaq laptop. When I first got the computer, Windows Live Messenger came with it, and worked peachy keen. But a few months into it, MSN stopped working. I would sign in, it would work for around 30 seconds, then it would completely kill my internet connection, and sign me out of MSN. I have HughesNet, which isn't as fast as DSL but it works. I just would like to be able to use my messenger again, without it disconnecting me. Any idea what could be wrong, or how to fix it?

I would like to recommend you an alternative.

Use Digsby or Pidgin (I think digsby is better) instant messengers. You can use them to chat with all your MSN contact and also Yahoo & Facebook (digsby) ones if you like. They are easy to setup and use and will work much faster then Windows Live Messenger.
