Try this cos it sounds like a problem with your router settings.
Error: 80072745
If you are encountering the error code 80072745 when you sign into Messenger try the following:
1. If you are connected to the Internet through a router, remove the connection to the router. Then, directly attach the network or modem cable to the computer. This will help determine whether the issue is related to a firewall setting on the router. Try to sign in to Messenger after you connect to the Internet. If you can connect to Messenger after bypassing your router, the issue may be related to router settings. Try resetting your router (Note: This may revert your settings back to factory default settings and may delete all your custom settings.). Please contact your router manufacturer's Help documentation or customer support channels to determine how to reset your router or enable port 1863 through the router firewall.
2. If you are signing in from a corporate environment, contact the network administrator to determine whether port 1863 is being blocked inside the network.
3. If you have Zone Alarm with IM Security installed on the computer, turn off IM Security for Messenger:
3.a. Right-click the Zone Alarm icon in the notification area, and then open the Control Center.
3.b. Click IM Security or click Security to open the IM Security settings window.
3.c. Click the Main tab or the Status tab.
3.d. Slide the Protection Level slider to Off to turn off IM Security.
Note: This procedure will change the IM Security settings for any instant messaging programs that are installed on the computer.
3.e. Sign in to Messenger again to determine whether the issue is resolved.
4. If you are connecting to the Internet using a Wireless Data card through a mobile phone network, please contact your mobile internet provider to verify if you need to additional data plans that enable you to connect to the Messenger service.

Gary.... I have an msn problem..... could you advise?
I am using MSN Live and have changed the main log in email adress. I now seem to be stuck in some kind of half way house limbo!
All my contacts etc are still there.... but they all appear to be off line. I appear off line to everyone too. If i ask them to use my new email address and add me as a contact then I appear to them ok.
It did say on the MSN site that contacts etc would be updated in 48 hours, so initially I was not too concerned, however it is now a week... and it hasn't resolved itself.... any ideas?

Erm... some help please techy people...
I recently upgraded my Vista to Windows 7. ALmost everything works, but when I go to type either here, or on Wordpress, when the cursor scrolls off the bottom of the visible page, it keeps flicking up and down and I can't read what I type as the text in the box keeps reverting to what is on the front page.
Do I need to install something? As at the moment it is driving me potty.
Cheers!

Might not be much help, but have you been out to the Windows Update site and downloaded up to date patches yet?
I'm afraid my past experiences make me wait at least 3 years before adopting any new MS products.... that's usually enough time for them to get the main bugs ironed out.

Before you do anything I suggest you plug a usb keybaord in and try that......if this works then chances are you need a new keyboard.....have changed a few of these for people....new ones are normally around the 25 quid mark.....

Very easy to fit but I would get someone who knows what they're doin to do it for you

In what programs, or is it all of them?
There's a setting in Firefox (F7 IIRC) that can cause them to stop working and I think there may be something similar in IE, but I don't use it so I can't really comment.
If it's all programs it could be a duff keyboard.
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with this - I have lost the ability to paste a copied word or phrase from one webpage to another's search box using my right mouse button.
I can highlight a word with the left button, then use the right button to select "copy" - but when I go onto another page, and right click, nothing happens.
Interestingly, I can use ctr+V, and that will paste the item into the new page.
This seems to have started when I right-clicked an image which must have been secuity-protected, I got a message that said "Right-mouse button disabled" - or words to that effect - is it possible that this has affected my mouse?
I'm using Firefox, I've done a system restore to a point when the mouse was working correctly but it still won't work.
Any suggestions gratefully received :smile:

You can play with the mouse button settings in the Control Panel. Look for it on your Start menu. Go into Control Panel and find 'Hardware and Sound' or 'Mouse' if you are in pre-XP Windows. You may be able to switch the right mouse button back on from there.

Ah thanks Foxy, I've already been in the mouse control settings, and I can't see any specifically for the right mouse button. I'm using Vista.

Too lazy to read back. But if anyone using avg 8.5 upgrades to avg 9 expect problems if on XP. Quick fix is to disable link scanner. Web pages can fail to load fully etc. Plus i was unable to download divx whilst avg was running. Also not easy to close down like past versions.
I used to use AVG, but it soon became obvious it confused genuine programs and sites as viruses etc far too often for me, so I use Avast now and have no problems with it.

I'm not techie, but i think maybe this might apply to me. Can't see any pics on profiles, can't receive any invites to view pics, can't click on the bug report link, can't change and save anything on my profile, can't open emails properly and open forum posts properly without several attempts.
I have XP and use AVG :sad: Have to find me a techie by the look of it!

Have a look in the New Site thread - there have been a few probs and failing that submit a support ticket to admin with all the details above and they will have a look.

Long time no see Tabbi
As I said in my previous post - AVG is well known for getting genuine sites and programs confused with Viruses. Avast is easier to use, FREE, updates regularly without you having to ask it to and I haven't had ONE virus or malware attack my computer. I also use Zonealarm too.
If it's not AVG then it might be possible that the browser is faulty. One way of checking is to either change browser or to uninstall and then install the latest version as sometimes automatic updates don't run properly.
Firefox
Safari
Google Chrome
I don't use Internet Explorer any more, but if you do prefer it (or don't want to try the above) then the link to the latest version is:
Hope that helps

If AVG is causing the problem it will cause problems on all web sites. Pages just refuse to open fully etc. I understand AVG are aware of the problem so its just a matter of waiting till the bug gets sorted.
If its only on this site you are having probs, then i havent got a clue :-?
Changing to firefox does normally cure most browser issues......
If its an anti virus/spyware prob I would advise buying one....I never used to.....but then I never used to do online banking.....these days 25 quid a year for a decent anti virus/spyware program is money well spent....however if you dont do online banking then there are several free versions....namely avast and several good free spyware programs....see "computeractive" website for genuine liks to the free programs....

This is the only site I'm experiencing problems, and I can't report them through the proper channels because the problems prevent me from using the link to report probs lol.
