Firstly, make sure you have the latest Windows Updates
installed (not that this will affect
Messenger or your problems, but the following may unblock
any sort of "protection" you have,
and for your security it is imperative that you have the
latest updates). Windows Update can
be found here:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Next, if you have any third-party firewall software,
uninstall it entirely as it may be
blocking your connection.
Next, make sure that you don't have any adware or malware
installed, and if you do, remove it
using these tools:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html -
Spybot
and you might even get the new Microsoft AntiSpyware a try:
http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyID=321cd7a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671
After all this is complete, reboot, and try connecting to
some of these things again. If
you're still experiencing the problem, try this link:
https://www.amazon.com
If Amazon *doesn't* come up, it sounds like SSL support in
your browser is broken. You might
try repairing this by clicking Start, then Run and enter
the following:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
Then click OK.
After this, do the same with the following:
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll

>However, 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.
>8. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:
>regsvr32 softpub.dll
>then click OK
>and do the same for the following:
>regsvr32 wintrust.dll
>regsvr32 initpki.dll
