So I have I think what is that latest version of MSN Mac...or however you call it. Anyways, only since yesterday, it's been shutdown for no reason...as soon as I try to chat with someone, or close a window. It keeps showing an error message and closes. What can I do?
Got a tip for us?

Help! MSN Messenger problem...

Exactly the same thing is happening to me and a couple of friends. I tried reinstalling mac messenger with no luck. It seems to be a widespread problem and microsoft doesnt seem in much of a hurry to fix it. msn messenger is already in version 8 for some some time, while mac users are stuck with an anemic version 6. Unfortunately ichat isnt compatible with msn, so we are stuck with this crappy version. Hopefully microsoft will deliver a better upgrade, future versions of ichat will be compatible with msn or some other viable and compatible client will be available for mac users.
Its a known issue - Safari 3 breaks MSN Messenger, as well as a number of widgets.

sign on problem
Can someone help me????
My MSN works fine, except when i click the msn icon to start up, it doesnt ask me for a password...instead it automatically signs me on and connects me. I need more privacy than that, and want to know how to set it so that it always asks me for a password.
At work, where i have the windows version on a pc, it asks me for a password as long as i signed off the previous time.
With the mac, it doesnt matter whether i signed off or not. It always connects me without password.

Google the tutorial (free) to get MSN contacts through Jabber (free account) in iChat. Download Psi (free) to expedite this process. No one should be forced to Microsoft software on their Mac.
Especially when you can use iChat instead. I used aMSN (couldn't ever stand Adium) until I got it to work exclusively in iChat. If anything, check it out and if you hate it, just switch back to the Microtard's app when they release version 7 later this year (Read: Next year).
