[Stevie]

I keep getting signed out of messenger- usually when I'm
inthe middle of a chat with some body and then have great
diificulty getting back in- only for it to happen again!
RAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!! Its VERY annoying. Somebody
please help. I'm using messenger 6.1 if thats of any relevance.

Messenger 6.1 is extremely buggy ( for many people ).
Install the 6.0 version from www.oldversion.com and this problem will go
away.

Hi,

I would disagree with this, and 6.0 does contain a security hole, so it's not recommended
that you use 6.0 at all.

Of course you would if you have not experienced the 6.1 specific problems
yourself.

MSN Messenger 6.1 is the buggiest publically released software I have ever
seen, and I work with software development.
This is on my setup of course, but you can read about users having big
problems with the 6.1 version everywhere, to a point where it can not be
used. Read some of the reviews at
http://download.com.com/3302-2150_4-10238592.html?pn=2&fb=0 .

When I reverted back to the 6.0 version, all problems went away.

Stevie, if you reinstall the 6.0 version you will be able to use MSN, but
you will apparently have this security hole.

On the other hand if you stay with 6.1 you will be kicked out all the time,
and there may still be other security holes left in the 6.1 version which
has not been discovered yet.
