Messenger won't recognize good password
Windows messenger is refusing to sign-in on one of my computers. It returns
a message saying the password is incorrect or the sign-in name does not exist. But, I am able to log-in successfully using the same name and password using web messenger. I have deleted temp internet files, deleted cookies, checked my IE security settings and manually registered the softpub, wintrust and initpki dll files. I have bypassed my router's firewall (by placing this machine on the routers DMZ) and still not able to sign in. Any ideas?

Hi Tim,
In that case it's more than likely some third-party firewall software that isn't letting Windows Messenger through (not that it matters at this point). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2005 Jonathan Kay.
