Hi,

I cannot logon on my Windows Live Messenger on my computer! The account is
valid (I can logon anywhere on MS web pages using same username/password)!
The firewall has been set to allow Messeger 8.0. No resctrictions on outgoing
connections in router!
About a week ago it just stopped being able to logon?? Never had problems
before that!
What could be course of error???

Greetings Staun,

There was actually a problem a week ago which misconfigures Messenger so you can't login.

To correct this, shut down Messenger entirely by right-clicking on its icon in the
notification area and choosing Exit, then download and run this .reg file:

Then try signing in again.
