vista windows messenger msn 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?

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