Did you ever manage to sign in, or has it never worked?

Default Messenger Not Working In Vista

Since I installed Vista I can not sign in to messenger either. Sometimes it
fails with a message and when I go to trouble shoot I get a ports error.
When I run repair it says it is fixed but still will not sign in. Other
times it just stays on the Signing in screen with the two figures rotating
all night. The only fire wall I am running at the moment as I set
everythign up and transfer files is the Windows Firewall and that says that
Messenger has full permitions. I am however useing a router but that never
caused a problem with XP.

I can sign in but about 5 seconds later it crashes. I think it may have
something to do with Flash as mentioned in an earlier post.

I have got a solution to this from my IT Director at work for my problem. I
will post it here in case it is of any use to anyone else.

Run CMD as an administrator (type cmd in the serch pain in the start menu
then right click the icon in the and select Run as administrator). Then
type or paste in the the follwing:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

It worked for me, so hopfully will do so for anyone else. Obvioulsy take it
under advisement before you do it as I personaly don't know how it fixes my
problem.
