MSN problems ?

kitfit1 · 24 Feb 2013 at 11:14

Has anyone had problems getting onto the UK MSN site in the last couple of days ?
I don't use it myself, but my partner does and she's having nothing but IE freezing when she goes to MSN. I was just wondering if there was something going wrong with the site. I've done all the usual things, cleared the Cache, deleted browsing history, cleared the DNS but the problem is still there. Any other ideas anyone ?

It might have to do something with Skype? Maybe it is MS way to tell you to update to the latest version of MSN (Skype).

Launch IE in no addons mode and see if it still does it.

No remote assistance in Skype though. This will be an issue. Hope they include it in the next version.

Skype is awful. Don't even get e-mail notifications on it, which is pretty much the only reason I used WLM these days

The problem is Microsoft want you to move to Skype before they shut down MSN but when you do there's a chance it will wipe all your contacts.

The MSN site and Messenger are not the same thing...

Yeah the MSN website has been crashing my IE too. I'm assuming there's something dodgy in the Adverts.

I just homepage'd google instead, as I only happened to see the MSN site because it's the default homepage and I needed IE for something specific.
