Greetings Jonathan
Jackpot! It was point 7 - uncheck certificate revocation!
Although I am very gratefull to you for helping me out
here (you might just have saved a long distance
relationship!) and would gladly give you a free beer or
two, if you were closer:-), I do need this feature to
check our web sites (although this is my private PC, I
work for a MS premium partner IT services firm).
Any Ideas?
Kind Regards and once again thank you!
Nic

>>Greetings Nic,

>>Here are some suggestions you should check/try:
>>
>>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 @

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.
>>8. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:
>>regsvr32 softpub.dll
>>then click OK
>>
>>If none of these solutions work, let us know and we'll
>see if we can further assist.
