RE: PC problem
Dispite the fact that you don't use Microsoft Internet Explorer anymore. It still is a part of Windows (and always will be). This means that it also still handles things like internet options / validation for security sites for MS products / etc... And it also handles the connections for programs like MSN Messenger...

So, first make sure you have the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...-b02b-20b602228de6
and http://www.windowsupdate.com/)...

And then check out this:

Especially note "8 (extra note)"...

Yeh, cheers, the code on "8 extra note" seems to have cracked it! :D I knew it was just that little code that I needed! I can't thank you enough mate........thankyou SO SO SO much man!
Just one other thing, my MSN Messenger isn't coming up as online yet, it just keeps going and going, it doesn't say "retry" or anything, ot just keeps saying "signing in" and with the little man going round. Any ideas about how to stop this and get it to sign in?
Thankyou SO SO SO much again! :D

RE: PC problem
Either the server is too busy or something...

Or your settings still aren't ok. If all else fails, try to work your way down the list in that thread. Doing every point one by one, and reboot after each try. (much work, but it may solve the problem)

But fist, let it timeout; eventualy msn messenger will timeout in trying to connect and will come up with an errormessage. Post that complete and exact errormessage... Also, normaly, after the error, you should be able to enter the troubleshooter, click it and follow its instructions...
