Messenger won't recognize good password

Windows messenger is refusing to sign-in on one of my computers. It returns
a message saying the password is incorrect or the sign-in name does not
exist. But, I am able to log-in successfully using the same name and
password using web messenger.

I have deleted temp internet files, deleted cookies, checked my IE security
settings and manually registered the softpub, wintrust and initpki dll
files.

I have bypassed my router's firewall (by placing this machine on the routers
DMZ) and still not able to sign in.

Any ideas?
