Hi,

That won't matter, the Windows XP firewall only blocks incoming connections, not outgoing
(what Messenger makes when its connecting).

>>1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double

>>3. Change your password @

>>4. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security

>>Internet, especially since you

>>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

>>uninstalling an
>>installed firewall, to verify that it isnâ?Tt 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
>>thatâ?Ts 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
>>â?TUse SSL 2.0â?T and Use SSL
>>3.0â?T 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
>>9. If using MSN Messenger 7, click the Tools menu, then Options,
> then
>>Connection category,
>>click the Advanced Settings button, uncheck all the options, click OK
>>twice and then try
>>again.
