Hello,

Thank you for writing to MSN Messenger Support.

This is Chelli and I am glad to assist you on how to enable that option to save your instant message conversations.

I suggest that to correct your problem, you need to do clean install. With this procedure, you need to uninstall>reboot>install.

Here is how to:

1. Before uninstalling MSN Messenger from Microsoft Windows XP, you must first close your Internet Explorer and Microsoft Outlook programs.
2. Click the MSN Messenger icon in the taskbar, and then click "Sign Out".
3. Click the Windows "Start" button, click on "Control Panel".
4. Double-click the "Add/Remove Programs" icon.
5. Select "MSN Messenger " from the list and click the "Change/Remove" button.
6. Restart your computer to take effect.
7. Download MSN Messenger again at http://messenger.msn.com/Download/

Should you have any other queries with MSN Messenger, please feel free to contact us.

least is sorted now!

no you can set it where to point, iv pointed it to my 2nd partition but i locked down security too much on it a while back, think thats what caused it

does it not store the logs then in your own profile directory steve?

fixed now, reset permissions on root drive and took ownership of the whole drive and reset NTFS permissions and re added ok now

Thanks for making me think of NTFS permissions Ian

I don't use MSN Messenger, instead I use Gaim

http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

My drive is ext3

i have no problems saving messages with this version of messenger. My HDD is FAT32

ttt ian?

Steveenyour a cock:)LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

drive is NTFS, shuld be authenticated! and the previous version worked fine, ne suggestions ian?

I am having a problem with this latest version of MSN aswell.
Please see here: http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=106162

That's the version i've got. Where is this option then?

It might not want to write message history unless you're authenticated? Is the drive NTFS?

For sum reason this latest version has the SaveMessage History option greyed out, anybody know how to activate it?
