Same problem here. I get the 0x81000301 error message that tells me to check my internet connection and the MSN service. Both are up and running. I cleared my cache and cookies, changed passwords, restarted and nothing works. I can log into my hotmail account and I can log into messenger on another computer.
PLEASE HELP !!!!
