[becky taylor]

hi i need to find a way to log on to messenger although the error
message means i cannot access it. please can someone help me because i
don't understand the directions given on the page. how do i sort the
error out? please help?

this is what i get:


Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current
custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the
application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It
could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server
machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be
viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a
"web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the
current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its
"mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom
error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the
application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom
error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"
defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Microsoft Messenger is currently down.
It's not your fault, nor can you fix it.
Microsoft is hard at work on the problem.

Becky,

that error message only means that the
MSN Messenger service is down.

You, and everybody else, will have to wait until
they can fix the service before using Messenger again.
