my job is about problem solving and helps keep my mind active. so when i have a problem at home i start doing the usual.
one time msn wouldn't log on for me. i checked the server was up. disabled firewall to test that. still no answer, logged on to both routers and checked the ports being forwarded, checked the logs. still nothing. reinstalled msn, still nothing. deleted it and removed all registry entries. installed it again. still nothing.
i'm going nuts at this stage. i log on my phone so it is working just not on my pc. checked all updates, and .net versions etc. reinstalled them. still the same problem. so when i've googled the error code, done all the things people have done. and more! i was giving up for the nite. i noticed the date was wrong on my pc. That was the problem. i had accidently put the year forward on the pc clock and that stopped msn from logging in.
