    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 :)

    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!

    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?

    Read this thread on another forum and try what they suggest!

    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)
