WINDOWS MESSENGER CHAT ROOMS

[Brenda]

I can log into Windows Messenger, but when I click on "Go
to chat rooms", I get a message..."Sorry, this page is
temporarily unavailable". This has been going on for a
couple of weeks. Anyone with a solution???

Greetings Brenda,

If you go to MSN Chat manually (open Internet Explorer and go to http://chat.msn.com), can
you get into a chat room using that method?

If no, verify that your computer's date and time has been set correctly. To do so, just
double-click the clock in the corner of the screen, and verify that the day, month and year
is set correctly.

Then, if you haven't already, clear your Internet Explorer cache and cookies -- open Internet
Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then click the Delete Files button,
and when that's complete click the Delete Cookies button. Then try accessing it again.

If that doesn't work, click Start, then Run, and enter the following:
regsvr32 jscript.dll
and click OK.
Then, click Start again, then Run, and enter the following:
regsvr32 softpub.dll

Then try going to MSN Chat again.

OK....I went to chat.msn.com and tried to log in so that
I could get into a chat room and got this msg.:
Microsoft.Net passport was temporarily unable to complete
your request. Please try again later. Everything else
that you mentioned, I tried and it failed also. What's
next??
