I've no problems using the normal inbuilt Windows Messenger 4.7 (this is the latest version of this one.) Haven't got MSN Messenger 6 installed. I did once and it tried to sign me in, then said I was already signed in, trying again, and again and kept doing this loop.

I think if you install MSN Messenger 6 it sometimes (in my experience anyway) fails to delete or disable the inbuilt Windows Messenger, thus they conflict when trying to sign in. Could be wrong but this is what happened when I installed it.

I'm sure there's a way to disable the inbuilt Messenger (and before anyone say's it not the Messenger in services.msc, that's something different) or delete it.

Because you're not using Linux. Mine works all the time...
