help please! i think its firewall

[Guest]

i just installed windows xp sp2 (service pack 2) and windows live messenger
and when i click on internet explorer it works but when i go to open
messenger, messenger pops up error code: 80072efd so i ignore it, close
messenger and go to inernet and it doesnt work. i think its a connection
problem so i disconnet the internet then reconnect and it wont connect. so i
log off and try anothere account and it works perfectly. i log off and go
beck into my account and internet explorer and the connection works but when
i go into live messenger the error code pops up again and the problem begins
again. if anybody could help? please post!!
And also i think it has something to do with the firewall cause a kid messed
with the firewall(called: windows firewall, in control panel) when i was gone
and i dont know how to use it? so please help!!

Hello. You're in the wrong newsgroup. This group deals with the version
of XP used for kiosk systems and set top boxes. You need
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general I think.
