Windows Live Messenger Problem..., Looked every where, can't find a solution.

I have re-installed MSN Live Messenger a couple of times, it fails to sign me in, gives me no error messages, just sits there, with the animation spinning forever, I left it go for a long time, and it still will not sign me in!

I ran the trouble shooter, repair etc. Disabled my firewall, gave it full permission and to no avail.

I can't figure out, for the life of me what is wrong. I looked everywhere and asked around and I can't find a solution, Can anyone here help me out please?

Thank you all in advance!

[EDIT]

Found the fix after lots of research, just in case someone else has this problem here is the fix that worked for me and many others.

Edit the registry with Regedit or another registry editing program. And delete the follow key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\Policies

You should be able to sign in now.
