Cannot sign me in to MSN Messenger

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

Hi

Over the passed few days I have been unable to sign into MSN Messenger. The
picture (in the taskbar area) turns around and around trying to sign me in,
and then delivers the error message "We could not sign you into MSN
Messenger because there is a problem with your .NET Passport. Click OK to
learn more at the .NET Passport web site. 0x81000303" When I click on OK,
it takes me to a page saying that MSN Messenger has signed me in too many
times with an incorrect password, and then offers to give me the choice to
change the password. Yet, all my setting are the same. Nothing has changed
in terms of me having changed my password or having tried to log in more
than once at a time with an incorrect password.

Does anyone know of this problem, and how it can be corrected, as I would so
much like to be able to get my Messenger working again!

Thanks.

Jo

hey I am having the same problem and has been on going
for quite a few weeks. I am seriously thinking about
getting rid of it and not using this service anymore.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
