As the thread title says really - is MSN Messenger still down?

I've been having trouble logging in (or not) for the last 2-3 days. And I still can't get in.

I tried to download the Beta 7.0 version, so maybe it's just me.

Now for some wasted time uninstalling 7.0 and reinstalling 6.2...

I've been having trouble logging in (or not) for the last 2-3 days. And I still can't get in.

Running 6.2 and it’s back on-line today!

- Windows 2000 or Windows XP users
1) Click Start > Run
2) Type: %appdata%Microsoft and press enter.
3) Right-click the MSN Messenger folder and rename it.
Now restart MSN Messenger and try to sign in again...
- Windows 98 or Millenium users
1) Click Start > Run
2) Type: %windir% and press enter.
3) Open Application Data and then the Microsoft folder.
4) Right-click the MSN Messenger folder and delete it.
Note: if you're using Profiles with Windows 98/ME, you'll need to go to the Profiles folder, choose your username and then go to the Application Data folder (then continue with the same
process). If you don't know if you have Profiles setup, most likely you do not (if you don't have Profiles folder in the Windows folder, then you aren't).

OR (this works well)

Click start > Run
Type: regsvr32 softpub.dll
Click “Run”
Re-start messenger and sign in.

No, last day at work as a CAD technician so I was just tidying away my desk and erasing all non-essential files from my computer (don’t worry burning the porn videos I downloaded).
