Any luck on this? I had a user report this same problem this
morning. Down to the same version and fault address.

At the time you wrote that, no. But now -- no changes on my part -- it works
again. I'm suspicious that the service was broken for a while, but I'm sure
we'll never know.

Right now, we trying to determine if we remove msn messenger and
reinstall, will he lose account settings? We're hopeful, that the
account settings are profile based and would drop back in once
messenger is reinstalled. Any thoughts?

I know the contacts are stored on the server so these, at least, would be
preserved for you. You can prove this is so by logging in from a different
machine -- you'll find your contacts are there.
