Hello,
Along with many others when I installed WLM 8 I am not able to connect.. the
buddy icon just spins away endlessly. I've tried the recent suggestions..
and still I spin on the taskbar *sniff*
I know that 7.5 still works, as well the web messenger is working. Just not
the one I want. Please help.

Yes, try Jonathans fix. It worked. I was afraid to at first but decided
something had to give and it worked. Hey Jonathan, how come all this
happened on Friday the 13th? That is spooky. But thanks for the fix. Glad
you were there to help out.

Will running this program in any way alter the existing MSN ....like loss of
