No way!
This has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with if messenger can sign in or not... If it works for you, you apperently have been lucky that the Messenger service have been down, and it came up again after you checked your time... It makes absolutly no sense that MSN would create/program MSN Messenger as Time/Date independant... NO ONE EVER DOES THAT! Makes no sense at all.. Why would you be able to change the date/time in Windows if programs would be that dependant on it... I am perfectly allowed to change my date one year or 3 days ahead if that's what I want to do, and MSN has no deal in this...
Sorry, but please don't give false information, because this one makes absolutly no sense at all... It's alright to help, but please be realistic...
Sorry folks...

Orig_Spoof:
I see this topic is 1 week old, have you fixed the problem?
Are you able to sign in now? Did you do anything? Or did it just suddenly work, if it just suddenly worked, it might just have been MSN was down for server maintaince or something else, we often see that people can't log in, when MSN is doing server updates.. Sometimes it also seems to be country dependant, so not all users might have been affected on the same time as you...
I have login problems right at this moment... I was online 5 mins ago, now I can't login... So, I'll just have to live with that.. If that is not the case, and you still have problems, please try posting again, maybe some software is bugging messenger... If you found the problem, you are very welcome to post details on what your problem was and how you fixed it, this might help later users that is experiencing the the same problems...

Can you access any secure websites?
try here for example:
https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html

If you can access that site, go to start -> run -> cmd
A black window should come up. In that window type:

code:

---

ping www.hotmail.com

---

After hitting enter, it will give you some information. If everything is working properly, the test will fail. Take note of the IP address that is listed

Example of an OK test result:

code:

---

C:\Documents and Settings\test>ping www.hotmail.com

Pinging www.hotmail.aate.nsatc.net [211.39.137.155] with 32 bytes of data:

---

Example of a Bad test result:

code:

---

C:\Documents and Settings\test>ping www.hotmail.com

Pinging www.hotmail.com [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:

---

If your results look like the Bad example, let us know. Also, if you can't access that sight above, let us know.

---

thanks for the help, but it won't let me go to that site.

Actually, in some cases, it can and does affect the proper use of the SSL certificate used to encrypt your username and password as you sign in.

In this case, It sounds like you are having an issues access secure website.  Try the article that "Ghost of Da Ages" linked to. If you still cannot access sites that begin with "https://" try following all of the steps in this article:

ok, i tried every single step on that site, and none of them fixed the problem. This may be more serious than i thought.

Uninstal Msn messenger 7.5 and download Msn messenger 6 from here. Then try signing in. Afterwards u may upgrade to 7.5.

Also try signing in with another id.

i've already tried signing in from multiple IDs, but i'll try installing that messenger.

installing that messenger didnt work, it still gives me the error/troubleshoot message, except it's the 6.2 version of it now.

could something be wrong with my proxy server or with my IP address?

I say check your hosts file then.

Edit: Or download the attachment, run it. This will make sure MSN Messenger can find all the files it needs on your computer. Note that running the file can take a few minutes.
