[jaws-uk] Re: Windows Messenger error message?

Hi Ali;

Can you see whether you can bring up https://passport.com?  Note: https, *not* 
http.

This is just to check whether you're having problems with secure sites over the 
web, or whether the problems are just limited to the messenger service.  Also, 
are you using a firewall, and if so, which one?  Also, are you using the latest 
version of Windows Messenger?  The version that first shipped with the original 
version of XP had security holes, and won't work.  It might be worth trying 
Windows Update to see if there's a later version available.

  Hi to all!

   Using JFW 4.5.1 AND XP home I am having a bit of a nightmare with windows 
messenger, following my festive adventures with MS Messenger I now am having 
problems with Windows Messenger, on trying to sign in using the sign in on 
start up option I find that it will not do this and reportsas follows;

  Cannot sign in, https or tcp problem please wait till your isp resolves this 
issue and try later.

  I do not understand the error message as all other areas such as E mail and 
internet access are functioning fine. Interestingly, Windows Messenger then 
displays   me as signed in, yet I'm clearly not as I recieve no alerts of any 
kind. any thoughts? I have tried to re-install the programme and also tried a 
system restore to an earlier date but to no avail!

  Thanks Alistair
