I can't sign into Windows Live Messenger, or Windows Messenger, or even go to login.live.com

Does anyone know why I can't do this?

I've registered all the dlls and checked security settings. I've done everything I could find, but I'm still not able to do anything.

I can't use MSN's web messenger but I can use other sites, such as meebo.com

Do you have another passport address you can try?  To see if it is a problem with the account itself or settings etc.  Or another computer you can try and login to Messenger etc with?

It's not the passport address. I can't even access login.live.com

As for another computer. No

Is it only login.live.com or you there are more live that you can't access. Do you get a 404 error? Also have you checked your hosts file(/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts)?

Not sure what i was checking it for, but I checked it.

Also, its extended error code is 80048439

I've done some research with the extended error code you gave me Joe. From what I can tell, there is a problem with your hosts file. Two things I've found:

Did you recently install a ad-blocking program or anything of the sort? If you can't find any MSN related entries in your hosts file, zip it up and send it to me.

Next there's a problem because of a proxy. Do you use one to connect to your ISP or use one to connect to Messenger?

I'm back to bisuness. It must have been something the IT department had to sort out.
Thanks though Guys.

Well the chances are that the problem will be fixed by MSN/WLM soon. How long has it been like this? There might be a chance that its you (not you but your pc). Have you installed any programs, got a new router or changed any settings?
