Any help please...I have recently downloaded 7.5 and I can't sign in. I press
repair and get a message telling me that my 'default gateway is offline'. I
have tried lots of things, such as unin/reinstall but with no luck? This is
now driving me mad...Help!!! My clock is correct.

Try these steps:

1. Adjust the Microsoft Internet Explorer security settings:

a. Start Internet Explorer.
b. On the "Tools" menu, click" Internet Options," and then click the "Advanced" tab.
c. In the "Security" section, verify the following settings:

- Clear the "Check for server certificate revocation" check box.
- Select the "Use SSL 2.0" check box.
- Select the "Use SSL 3.0" check box.

d. Click "OK" to close the window.

2. Reregister SSL security libraries. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Exit MSN Messenger.
2. Click "Start" in the Windows menu, and then click "Run".
3. In the "Open" box, please type the exact command below (take note of the spaces and spelling), and press "OK":

regsvr32 softpub.dll wintrust.dll initpki.dll

Thanks anyway

Hi Helen,

Since you can't immediately login, remember that you can try logging into the Web Messenger,
at least until you can restore your normal Messenger functionality:
http://webmessenger.msn.com

However, here are some suggestions you should check/try if you haven't already.

1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that
the time and date are set.
2. If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the
correct case (uppercase or lowercase).
3. Change your password @ https://login.passport.com/ChangePW.srf to
something smaller (under 10-12 characters), then try signing in again.
4. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc. ), it's possible
that Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you
upgraded. You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall
if this is the case.
5. If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger -- try
restarting it and see if that helps the situation. You also might try uninstalling an
installed firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a problem (even if it is disabled).
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
then click OK
and do the same for the following:
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll
