Windows Messenger

[Daz01]

Hi. I've just brought a new laptop with Vista on it. I downloaded
Windows Live Messenger 8. I open it up, type my e-mail address and
password in, click sign in and it trys to sign in for about 10
minutes. Eventually I get a message saying it could be your internet
connection that stops you signing in.

Now my Internet works fine, my firewall isn't preventing Messenger
logging in. I don't understand why it wont sign in.

Can anyone help me? What can I do to get it to sign me in?

Regards

Why not ask in a Live Messenger 8 newsgroup, or a Vista newsgroup?

This newsgroup is not concerned either with Windows Live Messenger (not part
of Win XP) or Windows Vista (nothing whatsoever to do with Win XP).
