Did you make any changes to the pc or firewall?

Friend of mine used the laptop day before the problem occured, I do not have firewall installed yet, and I asked him if he had done something, his answer was : No

Have you tried creating a new/different account and loggin in?

Do you have another computer that you can use to try and log on with?

I'm not very familiar with Win 2003....Guessing that there is a Control Panel->Firewall

Might try turning it on and makeing sure Messenger is on the Exceptions list...If not - add it..

Firewall is off, it is not on.

And when you turn it on and make sure Messenger is on the exception list - can you log in?

I tried this, and still I can not login.

I used some registry cleaners and that fixed the problem.
