Hey peeps,
This is a really bizarre problem and its kinda anoying as hell!
When people try sending me things over MSN Messenger 7.0 (full version) i get this message: ***** tried to send you a file (dvdSanta 3.45.exe). This file has been blocked because it is potentially unsafe.
I also got the same messgae when other people have sent me OTHER file types! Including an MP3, and Jpeg. I think there is perhaps a setting that needs "unchecking". I just cant seem to find it.
Any help welcome,
Daniel.
PS-I can send others files, they cant seem to send them to me. Crazy!

check settings in options for file transfer, also check internet options control panels for settings, and firewall settings if any...:)
