Recently and out of the sudden this problem happened, I can not login to Windows Live Messenger on the PC (win2003)[i.e. just sit and spin forever and nothing ever happens],,,,but I am not getting any error code

I uninstalled Windows Live Messenger and reinstall it again same problem.

I uninstalled Windows Live Messenger, and install V7.5 same problem.

Please see below pic to get the idea what does it happen when I login

I do not have firewall installed yet

See the DEP as well below

I tried signing in to Web Messenger and see whether that succeeds, yes it did succeed

Date, time and time zone on the computer.

Any feedback ?

Use Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to fully remove Live Messenger

Then install Windows Live Messenger (MSN Messenger) 8.5 Final

That's the extent of my knowledge on this one, as I don't use Messenger (being an oldie techie)

Thanks kimsland, I have tried what you have been suggesting , but still same problem still is going on.

I used some registry cleaners and that fixed the problem.

Thanks for the update, was the registry cleaner in CCleaner

It was "CleanMyPC Registry Cleaner" program.

Not in the TechSpot list: http://www.techspot.com/downloadid17by4.html

Anyway, I downloaded it: http://www.registry-cleaner.net/
It says "evaluation Copy: 15 days left"
Well I only need it for one. (Lol)

Not sure if it removes any error yet, after the big scan. (do you have to have it registered?)

Nope, it must be registered to fix entries

In the bin the program goes

It tried to call home to un-install too (poor thing)
I must remember to advise users not to purchase it too
