Cannot login to msn messenger error 0x80004005

[Lucia]

I STILL CANNOT LOGIN to msn messenger. (Worst yet, I
cannot enter the hotmail site, because net.Passport does
not allow me in.) In any case, please someone, please
help.
Regarding answers to the same problem, I have checked
what was suggested by Jonathan (or whomever from
Microsoft is taking care of this group)posted a reply but
got no answer.
I need help. Anyone?
Please note:
1. The date in my computer is fine.
2. Password is correct.
3. I changed the password for passport. I can log in
without any problem (in net.passport)
4. I specifically aded MSN messenger with "permit all" in
my Norton 2003 Internet security (also in Norton
Antivirus)
5. I disabled and enabled firewall. I have no XP firewall
enabled.
6. I cleared IE cache and cookies
7. I checked the IE Security settings.
8, I used the RUN command as advised.
The reason I so much want to get MSN Messenger is that my
friends in France and in Brazil are using it. I am quite
frustrated. I would appreciate any further help!!! I am
using Windows XP Professional.
Thank you all.

Hi Lucia,

It seems that Passport has been screwed a bit.

Regarding answers to the same problem, I have checked
what was suggested by Jonathan (or whomever from

we're not from Microsoft. Most Microsoft people add
[MSFT] or [MS] to their name, so that you can recognize
him/her as a Microsoft emloyee.

To your problem. Have you tried to log on manually?
I had the same problem and signing in manually seems
to work again.

Right-click the messenger icon in Systray and select "Sign in as...".
This allows you to choose your passport and to type in the
appropriate password.

If you select the option "Log on automatically", chances are good
that the automatic log on works again after that (so it does on my
box).

Please let us know if it worked.

HTH

HI! Yes, I did try that. I only have ONE account with
Passport, and I can get in Passport with no problems... I
cannot make MSN work. After all the work I did on it, my
computer is "humming" (eh eh eh). That is an unexpected
bonus... However, the cause of frustration is still
there... Incredible!
Well, if any of you guys knows of something else, please
let me know!
And thak you for sharing your knowledge!!!
