My msn is showing off line to my contacts but on my file it looks like im online,how can i fix this?

I got the same damn problem.

im in Mexico, the same problem...

Hey, for some reason I have never liked the Live version of Microsoft. I still have XP and im running msn 8.5. everyone is able to see me online, but I have no one online. some that have seen me online had talked to me and they all said they're using Live Messenger I believe there must be a server error for that version tonight. You can still use any other service and you'll appear online. Good luck.

Well, I'm from New Zealand and I'm experiencing the exact same problem as you are. My guess is that it must be a MSN server-related problem. To why that's happening, I'm guessing they're releasing something or it must be a simple bug. Or it could be a new MSN :D

Yup i have the same issue now as well. Something is going on with msn. don't worry ur not the only one.

have you got XP? then this may be the reason, Fat32 doesnt like long filenames Windows XP: Your computer needs to be NTFS to see the large hdd, and to use files larger than 4 gig. If you computer is Fat32, then it will not see a large external drive when the files in a folder on that drive add up to more than 4gb. The external drive needs to be NTFS because when you start adding files to it, eventually it will freeze. Fat32 to NTFS ------------------- you can change the file system with out losing the data To Check your hard drive, flash drive or external hard drive do this. They ALL need to be NTFS to handle today's large size file addressing.. Open my computer, right click the drive >properties. In the pop up it will say FAT or NTFS in the file system. If its FAT you need to change it to NTFS to handle large files and drive sizes. Do it in this order: 1, Open my computer> right click the drive >properties >tools >check now >tick both boxes to clear the disk of any errors, then: 2. defrag the drive (tools) 3. Enter the convert command like this: say the usb drive is F: Click Start > Run > "convert F: /fs:ntfs /v /nosecurity /x" without the quotes. same for your C drive. (paste above convert command and change the drive letter) I have done this a lot and never lost any data. Just don't interfere or take risks. The biggest risk is a power failure while its doing it. It doesn't take long. If you find it doesn't do the conversion, then run Chkdisk to fix errors then try again.
