Thank you for your suggestions. I tryed them and still no change. I
still get the same error with messanger. Also when I try to enter a chat
room from IE I get a blank screen with "Done" showing in the lower
corner. But when I try entering a chat room from another computer using
the same login and password there is no problem. I also have the same
problems entering my hotmail account from my computer but no problem
with other computer.
