MSN Messenger error 80040111

[Guest]

Just upgraded to 7.5 and since have not been able to sign in to
msn......upgraded to Beta and then get error 80040111 when attempting to sign
in. Also, when typing in email address for msn messenger signin, it takes
several seconds to display what was typed.....seems related to problem. Any
suggestions????

.......problem solved.......here's how in case others have the same prob.......

It appears that with MSN 7.5 there is a problem with compatability between
MSN and the firewall provided in Xp......I installed the 90 day free trial
version of Norton and where recommended, allowed Norton antiworm to replace
the Xp firewall. Once I ran a scan (no virus was found) I was able to sign
into MSN without any further problem.
Hope it works for you...so very frustrating.
