    Hi
    Click to Start then control panel and find a Windows Firewall icon
    Click on it and turn off firewall
    I hope I helped :)
    Make sure to turn it back on
    When you finished using live messenger :)

    It says that the windows is not in service and check your firewall, it could be blocking it

    Firstly, lets capitalize and use punctuation. (pet peeve)

    Secondly, re-write what's happens when you try to tick. You've included short answers and to me it makes no sense!

    It says :
    "signing into windows live messenger failed cause the server is temperately unavailable. please try again later.

    windows live messenger made serveral failed attempts to sign you in.your firewall may be blocking windows live messenger from connecting to the service.

    please review your firewall settlingssee the ratails instruction for more information."

    It say that ever time I sign in, and I've tried everything I could think of I need help!

    Do you have zonealarm?

    Do you click the remember me box? Try clearing that and re-entering credentials.

    Do you have another account you could try and log in as?

    Is there an error code?

    Unable to sign in MSN LIVE MESSENGER!
    Read this thread on another forum and try what they suggest!

    What's is zone alarm?
    And yea there's a error code

    ZoneAlarm is a software firewall. If you have any sort of software firewall it could be blocking MSN as well even though your Windows Firewall is open.

    If it has an error code, knowing what it is can be helpful!
    (ie: post it)

    Hello24
    Maybe try the latest Live Messenger for Windows 7 :)
    What do you use internet explorer or Mozilla?
