How do I disable the Messenger when checking my hotmail?
Q. I don't know if PC users have this problem, but I have a Mac and use Microsoft Messenger. Whenever I check my emails, I get signed out of Microsoft Messenger and signed into Live Messenger on the browser window. Is there anyway I can disable the messenger feature on my hotmail?

How to make Windows Live Messenger work?
Q. I just installed the latest Windows Live messenger on my computer. I had been using windows messenger that was already installed for a few hours beforehand. When i try to sign into Windows Live messenger, it says that the "Windows Live Communications Platform has encountered a problem, etc etc." I've uninstalled and reinstalled windows live. Is there a way to fix this?

A. Hi fornoonex3, Have you tried signing in with another account? Get a friend to try signing in using their username and password. If this works, then there might be something on the server side (Microsoft) of things. If things persist, check out the Live Messenger team page: You can get in touch with the right people through there. Cheers, Ron Windows Outreach Team

A. It could be that u haven't been on msn for a while and it has deleted chour account. But it has been saching that to me latelch and i think its because of a faultch connection to the internet -either because of the signal in chour area or things not being connected right (check theres no problems with each of these). To prove its a connection problem, next time this happens check internet explorer is working & if it isnt then chou know this is whats wrong. however if it is then i suggest leaving it for a while and going back to it. if still nothing, im afraid the onlch thing to do is create a new account, as it has probablch deleted chour old one because chouu have not been on msn much. hope this helps :)

How does yahoo messenger server serves so many concurrent clients?
Q. Many, may be millions, Yahoo Messenger clients in the world may connect to the YM Server at the same time via TCP IP. How could this achieved?
Asked by - Sun Oct 2 11:36:59 2011 - Programming & Design - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Don't consider it as a single server. Its a large group of servers working concurrently with access to each others information. Hence a Cloud Network. That is nothing compared to the Amazon cloud which is thousands of times bigger, which doens't just handle messengers but applications and thousands of websites all on a network base. Anyway basically thinking. Don't think of something in a grand scale, nothing would make sense. break it down into the smallest componenet. A single server and 2 clients talking to each other. Now keep scaling it up till a single server limit has been reached. Add another server networked to the first one and maximize the 2nd server output. Keep doing that, and you can achieve a larger scale. Of course its… [cont.]

How do I stop yahoo messenger update from poping up on my trillian?
Q. I upgraded to yahoo messenger because I kept getting pop-up update notifications, and disabled the yahoo toolbar that downloaded along with the update. Now every time my Trillian starts I get a pop-up to update Yahoo messenger (which I already did) and a yahoo admin contact embeds itself in my Trillian. How do I stop these annoying features without getting rid of Yahoo alltogether?
Asked by Hanna - Wed Sep 23 17:42:29 2009 - Other - Yahoo! Messenger - 1 Answers - Comments

A. You need to update Trillian. Trillian has to access the Yahoo Servers in order for you to be able to chat with your contacts, and Yahoo is sensing that whatever Trillian is using to do so is outdated. I believe the latest Trillian is the Trillian Astra version 4.0.0.117.

Asked by hoopla - Sat Dec 11 20:01:28 2010 - Other - Yahoo! Messenger - 2 Answers - Comments

A. The other answerer is almost correct, but that method will often block Messenger from ever opening. To prevent Messenger or any other program from loading on Startup, go to Start, Run and type in 'msconfig' (without the quotation marks). In Vista or Windows 7, type 'msconfig (no quotation marks) in the address box. Then in the new window that opens, click the Startup tab, scroll down the list and un-check Yahoo! Messenger. The next time you re-boot, Messenger will not open - you can still open it at any time through the Programs list.
