msn messenger not working

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). -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta "tangcla" wrote in message

I have Windows Live Messenger Build 8.0.689.00 Beta working on Windows Code Name Long Horn Server Beta 2, just FYI.
