Messenger Application not working except Windows Messenger
My computer is on an a domain and after 5 years of working on it one fine day I am not able to log on to live messenger. The only thing that went wrong prior to this is my domain controller went down and need to binded to the domain again. Things that I have done so far.... I did notice that the Messenger service was down and restarted it and set it to automatic. Still the same issue. Uninstalled Live Messenger and reinstalled. Same issue Tried other messenger softwares, Digsby, Pidgen, no use. During all this time I am able to install all the programs, I am an admin on my computer, however when ever my computer starts a messenger software my computer hits the roop on performance meter and all comes to a standstill. I have a feeling that something is messed with my network ports or at least something like that. I know a bit about comp but do take me for a genius. ALL HELP NEEDED............!!!1 person needs an answerI do too

Is your company firewall blocking the ports Live Messenger needs to log in? 443 and 1863 particularly? See if this article helps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927847 -B- http://www.officeforlawyers.com Author: The Lawyer's Guide to Microsoft Outlook

But maybe your network admin decided to take that opportunity to lock down (or update) the firewall too. -B- http://www.officeforlawyers.com Author: The Lawyer's Guide to Microsoft Outlook
