0x81000307 error & can't login to hotmail

Hi,

I wonder if some (probably Jonathan) can help me. A few
days ago my Windows Messenger stopped working and began
giving the infamous 0x81000307 error as well as I am not
able to loggin to hotmail. I am very distraught at the
moment cause I just bought this computer for over
$2,000. Anyway, I have searched all over and tried
everything (including what Jonathan has suggested to
other users; the delete cookies and adjust internet
settings advices.

Anyway,.....nothing has worked. I am at the point of
installing my operating system cause I am veryyyyy
angry. I even have MSN Messenger 6.1 to replace Windows
Messenger, still nothing helps. I ran virus scans galore
using AVG and Norton still nothing. I ran registry
mechanic still nothing. I ran Window Washer and Ad-
aware.. nothing. Now tell me why the HELL can no one
tell me how to fix this problem. Well for the experts
out there just let me know if I should uninstall Windows
XP and start over I would not mind at all since as I said
the computer is fresh out the box.

regards,
