Yes, it is free call, but i am already getting fed up with callers, so i will make you hunt the number down on your own... ;)



Whats the problem with it then?

People don't bother reading threads anymore... Oh wait, they never did that in the past either.

Nice article, so they have just decided to take down the whole messenger service

Is it possible that the worm was overloading the system? Windows Update now seems to have an update to fix that problem.

no, when they tried to apply an update yesterday(feb 7th) it essentially crashed the system.. or that is what they are teling us.... but then again MSN was never very good at letting it's support techs know what is happenning

the patches from windows update have nothing to do with anything.

Oh, I'm sure they've got something to do with something.

noone uses ICQ, i never said they did

however you can ask anyone at my college what their screen name is and they will give it to you and itll be a AOL screen name 90% of the time

i have a MSN name only because i figured i might need it soem day, havent yet, someone once gave me their SN and i asked AOL or MSN and they responded with WTF is MSN Messenger
