Hello,

Just check your time and date settings if they are correct... Sometimes you won't be able to log in Live messenger when your time and date is wrong!

I actually had this same problem bout a day ago. And I found out how to solve it. Hehe okay here's how to do it.

Control-alt-delete, and open up task manager.

Now go to processess and set it by image names.

Scroll down to "m"s

Find ANY processess titled "msnmsgr.exe"

You should have at least one, if not more, I had 5!

Click on them and click end process, and terminate it. Terminate every "msnmsgr.exe" you have.

After this, simply run msn and it works nicely.

The old 'reboot' to fix your problem. Well, I tried the suggestion, closed my MSN and reopened and it fixed this port problem. Thank you. Granted, I just right clicked on the MSN icon and chose exit, there was no need to go to the task manager, but thank you, this fixed my problem.

Well for me I had to do it three times. Make sure your MSN isn't running first.

When you terminate a process...the program should completely go away...And then you should be able to run MSN.

If the process keeps popping up as soon as you terminate it. Then MSN is starting on its own.. O.o..Try reinstalling? Or maybe even scanning for viruses >.>

I had an apparent problem with the ports, according the trouble shooter window. But when I turned off my firewall it still wouldn't log on.

Eventually I reinstalled MS Internet Explorer 8 and it solved the problem.

Hi all,
I had this same issue over and over again. It would come and go and still no luck.
I did find an issue for this problem though and it works like a charm.

Go into task manager and kill two processes.
msnmsgr.exe
wlcomm.exe (related to contacts and such)

Restart msn messenger and it should work.
I hop this helps anyone else that has had the same problem

For some reason, msn messenger is tied into internet explorer. If you exit IE and try again, it may work, or you can try launching IE to get it to work. It's just another buggy feature that Microsoft forces down your throat.
