| 423067 | 2006-01-22 00:39:00 | Help, help! A friend has installed BOTH MSN and Yahoo Messengers on her computer, but cannot log in to start using them. She has WindowsXP I think maybe its the XP firewall that is stopping her from loggin in. How does she get around this problem. Is there somewhere to go to "preferences" to tick something to ALLOW her to use the messengers? Thanks for your help Ali Ooopoop |

| 423068 | 2006-01-22 00:48:00 | 1) Install a proper software firewall (lots of recommendations in these forums - use the search function). 2) Disable Windows firewall. 3) Use the intuitive function of the new firewall to permit access to the instant messenger program that's being used. |

| 423071 | 2006-01-22 06:15:00 | Slightly deviated from the intended topic: Why don't you suggest to her try using Trillian - an IM which is capable of running multiple IMs - instead so that she doesn't need to sign in both MSN and Yahoo! Messenger whenever she wants to use both of them? Cheers :) |
