Using Picaloader with MSN Groups: out-of-date URL...?

Post by Syzmygon »

Hi,

Just trying out Picaloader with MSN Groups and have found that the http://groups.msn.com/msn.htm URL mentioned in the how-to guide (http://www.vowsoft.com/howto-download-p ... -Group.htm) produces a "Hmmm, We Can't Find that Page..." error message (presumably a 404 error). Am I making a mistake somewhere?


Cheers,
Syz

Hi,

It's means you havn't follow the guide step by step:)
Please check step 2&3

Thanks - I must've made a typo during step 3. So, I now see the "OK!" dialog, but after restoring my hosts file (step 5) I find myself unable to sign into any MSN Group; instead the HTTP 404 error is back ("This page cannot be found"). Presumably this is sent by your website...?


Apologies in advance if I've made another mistake,

Yes,
After restore and save your hosts file, you must start a new IE instance to sign in MSN Group.
