I have an iMac running OS8.6, I have
download MSN Messenger but can't
login. Can anyone help? I have set
everything correctly. Someone else has
successfully logged in under my
passport, but I can't, why?

If someone else has logged in under your
passport then you have a security
problem. I would change my password
if'n I wuz you. If you can't login, and
someone else has been doing so then
maybe they changed your password
while they had access. If you "set
everything correctly" then there's no other
reason why it shouldn't work.

Sorry, I should have been clearer there, I
got my cousin to log in for me to see if the
accoutns working & it is, I just can't get
connected on my iMac.

You're right, there is no reason why it
shouldn't work, it's got me puzzled But I
really need it to communicate with
relatives o/s. I was hoping someone else
may have had the same problem & fixed
it.

msn messenger on the mac is not exactly prime software, it's
slow even on imacs and prob be better if you used aol or icq.

but, check to see that you installed it ok, even re-install it and
delete the preferences in the system folder...just in case.

but it is slow to log-in, mine took 5 monites on dial-up just to
get in...
