    Windows Live Messenger and Vista

    Ive been trying to get windows live messenger to work on my new laptop. But no matter what I do, I keep getting error code 80048820. Please help!

    Things that Ive done:
    Changed MTU to 1400 and 1300 on my router
    Registered southpub.dll
    Checked Proxy settings and they were normal
    Disabled my personal firewall

    By the way, my laptop on wireless and cabled connection still yields the same error. While my wired pc can run msn just fine (Though its windows xp).

    Thanks in advance.

    That and using "live messenger" is retarded.

    Use something with more features, no ads, and can connect to all the chat networks.

    Pidgin relys too much on blue-colored themes.

    So use a theme you like? It works with all the gtk2 or gtk+ themes, and there are like billions of those..

    How resource-hungry is Pidgin compared to Windows Messenger 4.7?
