...still not working... i tried all that you said. except i
had a problem with the last one. the first file couldn't be
found and the second file, it asked me what to open it
with... and i did not know. any other ideas would be
graetly appreaciated. By the way i appreciate the help
you've given me so far...i'm farther than i would've been
by myself... here's some things that i notice different in
my computer that may hold a key to it.. whenever the cursor
sits still, it falshes the "sandclock" logo, meaning that
there is work in the background..it never stays, it just
flashes. my computer also seems to be running louder, i can
hear the fan in the computer alot more. maybe this is
meaningless, but it might mean something to you. Hope 2
hear from you.

>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
