I have just installed Pocket PC 2003 on my pocket pc. However I cannot get internet explorer or Messenger to work. I am tried to set my GPRS for (O2 -UK) and the phone appears to be connected. However, when I run messenger I get the following message:
Logon to MSN messenger service failed because the service could not be found. please make sure that you are connected to the internet.
When I try to browse the net.. I get "page cannot be found" message.
Any Ideas guys - What am I doing wrong?
Can someone confirm how to set up the O2 uk connections in Pocketpc 2003.
Thanks
Ron
With AT&T at least in the US, you need to remove the proxy server...I did that after getting the same error message & now it works!
how i can configure msn messenger in my imate pocket pc with new windows se. using bluetooth internet sharing with adsl connection.
i m using bluetooth internet sharing everything works well. i can open webpages very well but with msn messenger i just get a screen ( signing in) but nothing will come after that.
please tell me how to do it is there some update for msn messenger or some special configuration.please help me in this regard
thanks Imran.
There has been an update for MSN, go to www.microsoft.com
I have just upgraded from the HTC Wizard to the TyTN which is an orange branded device I have removed (stopped) the orange customization, but I seem to be missing the MSN part of windows. I've looked on the windows mobile 5 web site, msn web site, but can't find where to down load it. any ideas?
Thanks to all the great information this site has provided I was able to completly open my wizard thanks to this site alone!!!! job well done!!!!
...Isn't msn embedded in wm5, mine is. It's called: pmsnlauncher.exe. I attache one but don't know if it's working standalone...
I just moved from the M2000 to the M3100 today and was dismayed to find no msn messenger pre-installed.
Seemingly it will not let me install Agile Messenger either, as it says that it is not supported.
I have discovered a link in the files which takes you to msn Mobile but then tries to charge you 10.99 to install it. Is there anyway around this, as I use msn a lot whilst travelling, yet loathed to paying for something I expected for free.
Any help?

You need to app-unlock the 3100 before you can install Agile. Once you've done that, it works fine.
To app unlock it, use a registry editor to set the following registry keys (these are decimal values, use 1 and 40 if you're inputing them in hex):
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 64
For some reason people haven't had much success with other registry editors, so I would recommend Resco's, which I can vouch for through experience.
Yep - installed it on my M3100 today.
Here's a link on how to do it:
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news2266.html
Follow the instructions exactly:
1) Download and install the WM2002 client
2) Download and install the WM2003 update
presto it works!
I managed to get a pre-registered Pocket MSN by copying files over from my dusty old HP I don't use anymore.
Files copied:
pmsnshared.dll
pmsnserver.exe
pmsnresources.dll
pmsnresources.96.dll
pmsnlauncher.exe
pmsnhotmail.dll
pmsn.lnk
pmsn.cpl
Needed to remove the system file attribute to copy it over though. I guess this is helpful if you have a copy of a pre-installed Pocket MSN lying around that you don't use anymore!
If the admins believe this isn't legal, feel free to delete!
Or just go here and download and install it normally.....

Yeah, but if you use this link you have to pay £10.99 to use a program that everyone uses for free...

Hi All,
I downloaded Mobile Live and Messenger from this forum, and was able to install it on my Orange M3100. I then hook up my M3100 to my work wifi. I then run Live, and comes up saying "looking for internet connection" It then comes up with the bubble saying connecting to 3G, which I then hit cancel. It then seems to use the wifi connection the syncronise. Also when using it it, the 3G connection bubble appears regularly, and I have to cancel it. Is there any way I can stop Windows Live and messenger using the 3G service, and just WiFi?
thank
Nick

am actually after the hotmail part of the program than the other bits. i copied all the above files from my m5000 to the m3100 when you click on pmsnluncher nothing happens. what am i doing wrong. please note there are other solutions to get msn messager working, but this dosn't include the hotmail setup. ..help
That guy is missing a few files there, just to let you know.
oh great !!!!!!!!!
can't wait for the beta fto end to i can't get the damm thing.
oh by the way you wouldn't know what the other files are would you?
Windows Live Messenger Mobile is still down, with no end in sight. I really haven't had a chance to look at the newsgroups lately to find out what's going on, but I guess I'll have to.
at least i can give Yahoo Go some credit here, thier ppc client program works pecfectlyon my m3100 collecting all my yahoo emails.. let just hope google follow suite with a client version for picking up emails on the ppc.
Gmail supports pop / smtp access, and uses non-standard ports, so you can use pocket outlook to retrieve / send emails on it without problems.
Before my TyTN, I was using Symbian (S60). On S60, I knew a few MSN clients that could connect to the internet even though I used a proxy for GPRS.
Oddly enough, Windows Live Messenger could connect through the proxy with Symbian. On WM5/6, it cannot.
I tried Agile Messenger & IM+ also, but neither could do it.
I know a few java based MSN clients can work, but I'd really like to use a pocketPC version of MSN which can connect through my GPRS Proxy.
Any big names come up to your head that I could try?
ive been looking for one of these for ages, ive searched high and low and never found one. i want it for my work proxy. the messenger ive had to settle for is the internet one (http://www.ebuddy.com) which also support mobiles as well as pc.
Hi i'm on t-mobile and have the MDA compact (original) running windows mobile 2003 (PPC2003) and i'm just wondering if windows live messenger is available for it? and also if anyone has had a problem with msn messenger saying "Logon to MSN Messenger Service failed because the service is not responding. Please try again later. It works fine when i connect with activesync to my pc via usb, it just doesnt work when it is not connected to my pc...
Hey there, I have the same set-up as you and everything works fine.
Have you tried the following link as an alternative way to access:
http://mobile.live.com/wlm/imsi.aspx
Let us know how it goes.
yeah i can access windows live via internet explorer, but i wondered if their was an installable version for PPC2003.
As far as I'm aware there are no installable MSN Messenger files available or upgrades for that matter.
