MSN contact list is full

When trying to add a new contact to your list MSN Messenger tells you that your contact list is full.

MSN Messenger currently has a limit of 150 contacts. If you have 150 contacts in your list there is simply no way to add more new contacts. This amount might be increased in the future. In march it was increased from 100 to 150.
If you have an amount of contacts that is below the maximum amount and yet, you are not able to add a new one, this is most likely a server side issue that may show up after adding and deleting contacts for some time. Usually, this problem fixes itself after some time.
When you really need over 150 contacts or are not able to add new contacts the only thing you can do for now is to create one or more extra MSN Messenger accounts. Using a so called "polygamy patch" or a client like Trillian you can be signed in with more then one account at the same time.

"Sign me in automatically" checkbox is missing in MSN Messenger

The "Sign me in automatically" checkbox is missing and you have to retype your username and password each time to get online in MSN Messenger. This is probably caused by a security setting which does not permit storing passwords on your computer. If you have sufficient rights (you are an administrator) on your computer you can reset this setting by running this file.

The following message could not be delivered to all recipients

This has been notified - do not panic, it is not just you. This problem has been happening for a few days to many people. Msn is aware (see their homepage) and are fixing the problem. Should be fixed within the week.




Use webmessenger until we figure out how to solve it.

http://webmessenger.msn.com or http://iloveim.com

Check also MSN Service status: http://status.messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx







Update: It seems the service is returning to normal. I would suggest signing out and back in again if you are still receiving the error. Apparently engineers investigated the problem and found a fix.

If none of these methods listed above won't work, we recommend you to run registry fix tool.

Msn Messenger Plus It's a Virus

Msn-9.0plus.exe -- It's A Virus!

Do not click on that link!

There's been a lot of virii floating around the MSN Messenger Network lately. Some of them include links that pop up saying things like;

Never click on these links when someone sends you one. The typical result is a virus infection. In the case of the links above the result is a W32/Antix-A infection
