ColdBlooded Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Flush your dns cache. cmd -> ipconfig /flushdns If issue still persists then reboot your modem/router (unplug for 15sec then replug). This normally fixes it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauntedDawg Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Glad i could help. Anyone else that need's the fix: Open up internet option's -> Advanced Tag -> (LIST) Security Options -> Check for Server Certificate (needs to be unchecked). And the admin's can now close this thread :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 You should be uninstall your messenger and then again install this messenger in your computer and you may get better result or if this problem is occur again the you should be re install your windows because this problem is in your computer not in your messenger so i think you should need to re install your Windows and then try again to install this messenger in your computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudinski Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Glad i could help. Anyone else that need's the fix: Open up internet option's -> Advanced Tag -> (LIST) Security Options -> Check for Server Certificate (needs to be unchecked). And the admin's can now close this thread :P That tells me there's an invalid cert somewhere, probably the built-in root ones(Verisgn, etc.). I'd try checking the date. With Skype, I know it opens up the HTTP port on a computer(only Windows though, how strange?). There might be another process already using the ports MSN requires for authentication as well, though, last time I checked it uses random user-range ports.

HauntedDawg Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 @ Spud The time was not out, no process was using the required port's if it does, as we rebooted his PC. Can't find the thread i used to find the issue. But your more than welcome to find out why it was the Server Certificate, however.. it had nothing to do with any SSL Certificates.
