problem signing into msn and msn messenger

[JANE]

hi guys! have just had p.c for about two weeks and
thought it was great however i have 9 e-mails in hotmail
that i can't read! It is getting rather frustrating!
Msn say that there is a problem with their site or my
internet connection. Msm messenger version6 will also
not let me sign in. Any ideas?

Greetings Jane,

Here are some suggestions you might want to check/try:

1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that
the time and date are set.
2. Clear your IE cache and cookies -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then
Internet Options, then click the Delete Files button, and when that's complete click the
Delete Cookies button.
3. Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then
Internet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check
for server certificate revocation" is unchecked. Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL
3.0' is checked, then click OK.
4. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
then click OK

Then try again.
