F*cking windows...

Ok guys,

here is my problem when someone is trying to send me a file over msn. I accept it, it transfers and when i double click to hear it, windows come up with this:

I have windows xp pro with sp2, updated til today! and msn 7..

any advices!

ps. only happens with .mp3 files

sp2 has had some problems, but I don't think I've heard this one.

Posted by Zeiter on Apr-14-2005 18:44:

i had sp2 for a while now, and damn, it began last night....

dunno what the hell is wrong!!!!

DON'T WORRY! I hope that I am right in saying that if you right-click the file and select Properties, there's an option somewhere which will allow you to unblock access to the file. It's not a problem, rather an unexpected security feature.

Um, so my suggestion didn't help? I doubt you have to manually unblock each and every mp3 file you receive, rather it's a case of looking around your Windows Security Centre (it should be in your system tray) and disabling this particular feature.

EDIT: Actually, I'm talking bollocks. All I know for sure is that Messenger blocks transfers with certain extensions if the sending user isn't on your contact list, but that probably isn't applicable.

u can still .rar it or zip it and send like that.

ok guys, i solved my problem, thanks for those who tried to help

I got the same F'ING problem.

And, if anyone is really bored, you can try solving my ZoneAlarm problem too. Basically what happens is, when Windows starts up, it takes an extremely long time for ZoneAlarm to initiate on start up. I get a lot of "Not Responding" messages, etc. I make sure that my Windows Firewall is turned off, but that doesn't help at all.

Stupid Service Pack 2....

wow...
that'd be fun to have a spare computer to see how much spyware and shit you could get
or like a two monitor system where one monitor was filled with useless bonzai buddy crap

Theres a small app on www.mess.be that solves this fucking problem called extfit.

Posted by Orbax on Apr-14-2005 23:02:
