Post by: strapping young lad on July 15, 2005, 00:13:32: u havent got firewall rules on your pc to allow certain apps to work do you?

as 7 is a different app to 6.2 (as far as file size and the like is concerned) some firewalls which control app launching will require you to intervene and allow 7 to go on tinternet

it probably still thinks 6.2 is being used and as 7 isnt the same app it wont let it out.

Post by: Xtremeteam on July 15, 2005, 01:07:28: right,still no bloody workin,uninstalled & re installed msn 5 to 7 inc 6.2 & none o them work,they either say no connected to the internet or come up with an error code so thoroughly hacked off now

Post by: strapping young lad on July 15, 2005, 14:00:05: v weird

trillian is independent

so as long as you have an msn account you can use trillian anyway
