If you've all been wondering why you don't see much of me anymore, here's the main reason why:<br><br>I've been having problems signing into MSN Messenger (In which I keep on getting SAS Proxy Errors), and it has resulted in me deleting the program from my computer. I tried to redownload and reinstall it without success.<br><br>For the time being, please use Yahoo Messenger (ceruleancelebi) or AIM (TraysandorVulpes) to contact me on Instant messengers.<br><br>That is all for the time being. thank you for your co-operation.<br><br>-- Miles

Hello Miles:<br><br>I think I found a fix for your SAS proxy errors. It applies to Internet Explorer, but hey, it's worth a shot.<br><br>- Open up Internet Explorer.<br>- Click on Tools, then Internet Options, then Connections, then LAN Settings.<br>- If the box for "Use a proxy server for your LAN" is checked, uncheck it.<br>- Click OK twice and close IE.<br>- Try logging into MSN Messenger again.<br><br>Hopefully, this will work. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

Well, since it's <b><i>MSN</i></b> messenger, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it were related to IE. Personally, I use Trillian for messenging, so I couldn't help you on the MSNM client.

Yeah, I'd be a lot easier to find in those IM programs.<br><br>*cough<a href='http://gaim.sourceforge.net/' target='_blank'>gaim</a>cough*

Gaim is very good and unlike Trillian Yim (yahoo instant messenger) works with it.

Trillian works with Yahell, I use it all the time o.O

Trillian has IRC support. Though I've never used it....

I have, and it is pretty good.
