Just a suggestion, with MD running, open MSN Messenger > Tools > Options > Connection

Choose I use a proxy server
Type: SOCKS Version 4
Server: 127.0.0.1
Port: 1863

Thanks, but I made sure of that earlier and tried unchecking even though that would mean MD not connecting :P

But yeah, when I unchecked, I signed into my account as normal but as soon as i checked the box again and tried to reconnect, it wouldnt allow me to sign in on that account :S

Do you have Windows XP SP2? Or are you running a software/hardware firewall?

I just noticed in your previous post that you do have SP2

Make sure that you set an Exception to the firewall for MD to connect.
