Windows messenger is refusing to sign-in on one of my computers. It returns
a message saying the password is incorrect or the sign-in name does not
exist. But, I am able to log-in successfully using the same name and
password using web messenger.

I have deleted temp internet files, deleted cookies, checked my IE security
settings and manually registered the softpub, wintrust and initpki dll
files.

I have bypassed my router's firewall (by placing this machine on the routers
DMZ) and still not able to sign in.

Any ideas?
 
Hi Tim,

In that case it's more than likely some third-party firewall software that isn't letting
Windows Messenger through (not that it matters at this point).
