Isn't Messenger Discover acting as a local proxy? This means that Messenger Discovery (or you manually) probally configured MSN so it connects to a proxy. To fix that, follow these steps:

• Start up MSN 6.2.
  
• Click "tools" -> "options" -> "connections".
  
• If there is something filled in there and you don't need a proxy server to access the internet, then uncheck "i use a proxy server" and press "OK".
  
• Exit MSN and start MSN up again.
  
• Try to sign in.

Windows Messenger should still work, it just wont be started automatically, you can start it from the startmenu. If that doesn't work then...

• Download Mesenger Disable and run it.
  
• Uncheck every option and press "Apply".
  
• See if you can start Windows Messenger from the startmenu now.

If it doesn't then try this...

• Exit every instance of MSN and Windows mesenger.
  
• Press <CTRL>-<ALT>-<DEL> to make sure msmsgs.exe, msnmsgr.exe and msgplus.exe are not running anymore.
  
• Now run Messenger Disable again and check the "Uninstall Windows Messenger" option, press "apply" and reboot your PC at the end.
  
• After starting back up, visit http://www.windowsupdate.com and install a fresh copy of Windows Messenger from there.

Now about the problem unable to sign in at MSN Messenger with just one account, try this:

• Exit MSN Messenger.
  
• Press "Start" and select "Run", now enter "C:\Documents and Settings\ and press "OK".
  
• Doubleclick on your username. If you are not sure with what username you are logged in, press the "Start" button in the lower-left of your screen and see what name it says.
  
• Doubleclick on "Application Data". If you don't see that folder anywhere, then simply type "\Application Data\ in the adress bar after what is already showed there so you'll get "C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\" and press <ENTER>.
  
• You should see a few folders with only numbers now.
  
• Download MSN6 ID, fill in your emailadress which you are having problems with in MSN and press "Work out".
  
• Now, delete the folder from your PC which has the same number as the one that you just generated.
  
• Try to login at MSN (you might want to reboot so that MSN and Plus! are automatically started again)

I hope that helps, let us know.

w00t you guys are the best, it works!
