****READ THIS IF IT DOESNT WORK****

Close MSN BEFORE you start running those 2 files, because I failed too when I was logged off at msn, with the icon still in the right below corner. Close it down, it works.

THANKS SO MUCH..I nearly went mad for nt able to sign in! I was reluctant to dl the whole thing again because emotions will be gone! THANKS A ZILLIONS!!!!!

If you are using vista with Internet Explorer 7...

1)Go to internet explorer
2)Go to Tools, click on internet options. Select Advanced.
3)Scroll down to security section, UNCHECK 'Check server certificate revocation*'

Good luck.

HEY GUYS: YOU HAVE TO RESTART YOUR MSN. That means you EXIT, and then start it again. Get it? Don't just try to sign in again and again. Follow the damn instructions.
