i just installed windows xp sp2 (service pack 2) and windows live messenger and when i click on internet explorer it works but when i go to open messenger, messenger pops up error code: 80072efd so i ignore it, close messenger and go to inernet and it doesnt work. i think its a connection problem so i disconnet the internet then reconnect and it wont connect. so i log off and try anothere account and it works perfectly. i log off and go beck into my account and internet explorer and the connection works but when i go into live messenger the error code pops up again and the problem begins again. if anybody could help? please post!!
And also i think it has something to do with the firewall cause a kid messed with the firewall(called: windows firewall, in control panel) when i was gone and i dont know how to use it? so please help!!

Hello. You're in the wrong newsgroup. This group deals with the version of XP used for kiosk systems and set top boxes. You need microsoft.public.windowsxp.general I think.
