MSN Messenger not working

[Guest]

For some reason, I can'tseem to get Windows Messenger 8, or MSN 7.5, to work
on my PC. I can do seemingly everything else - browse the web, POP/SMTP mail,
FTP, Bittorrent, but I just can't get MSN to work!

Any suggestions/ideas?

This has happened in builds 5308, 5342, 5365 and 5381.

Check the Windows Firewall in Control Panel to see if its blocked. Click the
Exceptions (tab) and click Add Program if its not already listed.
(becareful when you click send).

Send an E-mail (e-mail address removed) (Remove No Spam) and I will Send
You a Windows Live Messenger Beta Invite, just FYI.
