>> Here are some suggestions you should check/try if you
haven't already:
>>
>> 1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -
- double click the clock verify that
>> the time and date are set.
>> 2. If your password information is not saved, verify
that you are typing it in with the
>> correct case (uppercase or lowercase).
>> 3. Change your password @
http://memberservicesnet.passport.com/memberservice.srf to
>> something smaller (under 10-12 characters), then try
signing in again.
>> 4. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton
Internet Security etc. ), it's possible
>> that Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to
access the Internet, especially since you
>> upgraded. You may need to re/add Messenger to the
allowed list of programs in your firewall
>> if this is the case.
>> 5. If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still
may be blocking Messenger -- try
>> restarting it and see if that helps the situation. You
also might try uninstalling an
>> installed firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a
problem (even if it is disabled).
>> 6. Clear your IE cache and cookies -- open Internet
Explorer, click the Tools menu, then
>> Internet Options, then click the Delete Files button,
and when that's complete click the
>> Delete Cookies button.
>> 7. Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet
Explorer, click the Tools menu, then
>> Internet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the
Security section, and verify that "Check
>> for server certificate revocation" is unchecked. Also
verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL
>> 3.0' is checked, then click OK.
