Brief summary and likely causes: confirms this is MSN Messenger 7.0 (beta). Frequent sign-ins/sign-outs at roughly the same time usually come from one of three things: the beta client itself (known to be less stable than the production release), an unstable Internet connection, or local software interfering with the login/auth process (firewall, antivirus, or corrupted local messenger data). was correct to point out the beta status; that alone makes a downgrade a reasonable option for reliable use.

Quick diagnostic checklist (do these in order): check general Internet stability (browse a few sites or watch for dropped pings); note whether the problem happens immediately or after some minutes; confirm the account isn’t being used elsewhere (concurrent sign-ins will force a disconnect); verify the PC clock is correct (large time skew breaks authentication); try signing in from a different machine or network to see whether the problem follows the account or the PC.

Practical fixes: temporarily disable third-party firewalls/antivirus and test sign-in; allow the messenger program through the firewall and permit outgoing messenger traffic (commonly MSNP on TCP 1863); export/save the contact list, then perform a clean uninstall: remove Messenger via Add/Remove Programs, reboot, delete leftover Messenger data under \%appdata%\Microsoft\Messenger and the installed program folder, then reinstall the stable 6.x release (as suggested by ) rather than the beta. If the account behaves normally on another machine but not on this one, the leftover profile/cache is the likely culprit.

Cautions and next steps: scan for spyware/viruses when connectivity issues show up unexpectedly; change the account password if there’s any sign of unauthorized access. Note that beta software is meant for testing and can cause intermittent problems—for everyday messaging, the production release is the safer choice. ’s prompt to clarify which MSN product was helpful in narrowing this down.

msn 7.0 beta

this is from a messenger download site ,

What does "Beta" mean?
Beta is a pre-release version of software. There may be minor undiscovered issues that may affect things like performance and features, although this version has been tested and found safe for release. (See Known Issues below for details.) If you are not comfortable with Beta software, download MSN Messenger 6.2. Please note, you are using the MSN Messenger Beta at your own risk. Please see the End User License Agreement, which will appear before download, for details.
