What is the exact error message you get? Does it give you an error number? When you do click troubleshoot, where about does it detect the error?

TRY THIS: close MSN messenger completely including the icon in the notification area of the task bar (beside the clock) by right clicking the messenger icon and clicking exit.

Now do this:
1.On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2.Click Network and Internet Connections.
3.Click Set up or change your Internet connection.
4.Click the Content tab.
5.Under Certificates, click Clear SSL State.
6.When you receive a confirmation, click OK.

Then try this:
On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Run.
Copy the following, and paste it into the Open box:
regsvr32 softpub.dll wintrust.dll initpki.dll

Click OK.
When you receive each confirmation, click OK. The third confirmation may take a minute to appear, depending on your computer.
After the third confirmation, restart MSN Messenger and try to sign in again.

If this does not work. Try.

On the Tools menu, click Options. (If the menu bar doesn't appear at the top of the conversation window, the window frame may be hidden. Click the double arrow icon in the upper left corner of the window, or press ALT to restore it.)
Click the Connection tab.
Under Connection Settings, click Test Connection.
If you agree to allow the Connection Troubleshooter to examine your system, it will test for connection problems and report steps you can take to correct them.


If this doesnt work. MSN uses port 569 to access gateway.moswest.msn.net . Your firewall may be blocking this port. If you know how to unblock this port on your firewall then try that, if not, which firewall do you use?

Could also be that the firewall is filtering out MSN. You would need to go into the filter list and see if this is so. If it is then change it to Allowed.
