OSX MSN Crashing

tsinc80697 · 14 Jun 2007 at 14:25

Ever since I installed the Safari beta, MSN crashes when I close a conversation window.

I was told by someone its something to do with the webkit being changed with the beta compared to the old Safari but I have no idea how to change it back or how to change MSN so it uses the old one?

Tried google but couldn't find anything, anyone help as MSN crashing all the time is annoying me!

You may have to remove beta3 entirely. When installing it leaves a nice little .pkg on your desktop for correct removal

one thing, try adium instead of msn for osx - its far better

Think a lot of people are having this problem, myself and my friend are - i've switched to Adium while I check out Safari 3.

Tried aMSN, adium and mercury MSN last night, didnt really like any of them except mercury MSN, but that has a fault where once you open a group you have to click off the program in order to close the group or open another one

You can customise Adium nicely, worth looking into what you can do with it.

Had the same problem, thanks for solving it for me!

That's all it's good for really, Microsoft Messenger is rubbish for MSN-centric features...but Adium is even worse! Heck simply because Microsoft Messenger supports personal messages is one of the main reasons I use it.

Of course if you don't have to use MSN or use multiple chat services then that would change my view of Adium entirely

Oh, even when safari 3 is not installed, MSN in mac always crash (for me) and it's so annoying.

Mine does too, never used to though, just started tonight. Strange.

Edit: Adium does it too :S

And now each time i closes a chat, the whole msn crashed. :confused:

What is happening

tsinc80697 · 20 Jun 2007 at 12:35

yeah that is what was happening to me, download safari again and run the uninstaller, fixed it for

J1234 · 20 Jun 2007 at 13:19

The thing is, I haven't download Safari, it just randomly started happening?

My MSN used to crash constantly last week so i completely wiped it from MBP and installed Adium, far better!

It is by Microsoft after all so i put it down to that.
