Getting pissed at msn

I doubt it has anything to do with MSN.. It seems to be the AVG blocking or breaking your connection. Does this AVG come with a firewall ( I guess it does sonce you mention web shield)? Maybe you need to specify that MSN is a valid program. When you close the web shield to log in, do you restart it after you log in?
-
The web shield of AVG is a head ache if you ask me. It slows down the IE too. Try This The messenger will work fine after that.

Here's your option I switched to linux due to many unexplainable crashes on my MS system and loss of ram and cpu running at 90-100% most of the time. I am happy with linux

I've been slowly warming to the idea, but all my games and little apps that i've come to know and love...they all are windows only...they're like FAMILY!!! Stupid microsoft....totalitarians....wow! speled it right on the first try! but yet i can't spell 'spelled'...sad...
-
There is a lot of stuff available on linux as well :smile: little apps et al.
You can just go ahead with a dual boot of windows and linux on same pc.......play your games on windows and do the rest on linux.
I got a dual boot on both my pc and laptop :grin:
-
Which distro would you recommend?
-
Go for Mandriva or Ubuntu.......easy to install and both are nice distros

Quote:When you close the web shield to log in, do you restart it after you log in? yes. should i leave the msn section off when i;m using msn? i don;t talk to no one on eit but shannon, pete, lance, and some school aquances.

I don't understand what you mean by that "msn section off".
-
when i click om the avg icon it wipp pop up a bunch of options. when i double on web shild it opens it up. then there are two tabs. one tab is web and the other is instant messaging. it has IM protection, ICQ protection and msn protection checked. when i sign onto msn i unlick them... then click them back once i;m logged in.
-
Hmmm.. I'm not familiar with AVG.. I would try leaving it unchecked while you are using it. It'll probably solve your problem.
-
okies.. will try that
