Cap'n,

Whenever posting questions on these forums, please give us as much information as possible about your computer. Depending on your issue, we might need the operating system, processor speed, amount of RAM installed, brand name of the computer, (if there is one), and any EXACT error messages you are receiving, plus any other information you think might be helpful. The more information you give us, the better informed our answer will be.

Dial-up connection or broadband?

Have you contacted your ISP? Some require mouse activity on the page and typing on an instant messenger doesn't always cause that to happen.

Have you contacted MSN to see if they can be of help?

Have you shut down all the unnecessary background programs that might cause conflicts and computer freezes?

How To Shut Down Unnecessary Start Up Programs

Hope this helps and let us know more.
