Messenger will not login

It's not your system..I have the exact same problem...it's
stupid windows and their new SP2...why they have to mess
up something else to fix other things...I'll never get it.

Thanks to Jonathan Kay and a few others..they solved this
problem for me.

Uninstall your windows messenger...go here to find out how
to do that easily: (Jonathan Kay's Website)

http://messenger.jonathankay.com/problem.aspx?ID=7

Then go here to download version 4.7.2009 (You will need
this version if you want to access your hotmail from
messenger and receive alerts)

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/messenger/download.asp

Once you reinstall, you will need to add the add-in to
access your hotmail. When you try to access it, it will
ask you if you want to install the add-in, just say yes,
and it'll take you to the download page.

Thanks a ton! I was fighting with that damn thing for
days. Fricken Microsoft fixes some issues with SP2, and
then screws up others! Go figure..
