On any font I use in MSN Messenger, I cannot select the font size 9. Please tell me why and how to fix it. Does anyone also experience the same problem as me?

hmm, so weird - what are ypu PC specs, and where did you get the MSN install file


when you uninstalled did you remember to delete the folder and all files / registry files after the delete then restart?

Read the rules, don't respond unless you know an answer. And why do you respond if you don't even have the answer. Trying to get more posts?

I do not have the problem and it seems you have tried mainly everything, but I have more of a feeling the problem has more to do with your OS. Anyway, that is one of those problems that you will have to live with until you reformat, most likely. Just a little bug I am sure.

and also, it only happens when I open a chat window, close it, and open it. Then the settings willrevert to 10...

When I go to View>Text size, Smaller is font size 10, smallest is font size 8, medium is font size 12 etc.

Maybe it's because of that everything is not shown properly? I am confused.


You sure it does not happen to you when you close and reopen a chat window and see the font again? Because I don't want to format for nothing.

Trenz, I suggest you restart your machine, that's what I am about to do because all it shows is a few fonts and three font sizes.

You both have millenium Edition right, that is probably why

Does it don't work for you too?

Guitarnerd, probably Microsoft installed the Millenium Bug into our machines :D

And I thought you had Windows Messenger, not MSN Messenger?

Okay trenz, I restarted and practiced on some poor bugger. It just keeps jumping back to the same size. It seems stuck at one font size, but that's fine by me, I don't want it smaller or larger.

If you are really concerned about it contact MSN support and don't ask me their email address, look it up :)

Yes, whatever I set it to still goes back to 10, so find their support addy and inform them. It doesn't bother me personally.

So I saved myself a reformat.


And I already emailed them before I asked this question.
