Hi, im not sure if this is the right forum for this but im having a problem with signing into my windows live messenger. Well i click sign in like i normaly do but it never connects, its been saying "signing in" for almost an hour now, i dont get an error message at all either. Everything was working fine last night. I tried Repairing it, and re installing it but nothing at all works, help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Is the connection troubleshooter coming up? Do you run it?

Do you have a firewall? Have you configured it to allow MSN access?
