cannot login to hotmail website even through MSN Messenger

[BABZ]

My problem is that i suddenly can't login to MSN
messenger on my computer, but can on other computers. The
same goes for when i go to check my e-mails through the
Hotmail website, it doesn't complete the login process
and request my password on and on.

I post this message since I looked for the solution in
many places through several searches on google and on
microsoft.com and hotmail.com, plus on newsgroups and
could not find a documented solution to this problem.

Greetings,

Here are some suggestions you might want to check/try:

1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that
the time and date are set.
2. Clear your IE 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.
3. Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then
Internet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check
for server certificate revocation" is unchecked. Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL
3.0' is checked, then click OK.
4. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
then click OK

Then try again.
