[robin45]

Hi,

I have a big problem and I do not know what to do. From past few days, I failed to connect to Windows Live Messenger, It gives me the same error 8100036 every time, that is unable to connect. I did everything : checking firewall, checking connection, I tried troubleshooter, etc. .. nothing works. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and still nothing My account is active, because I gave the ID and password to friends abroad and they can connect, so there may be an error or user password The problem is that even I can not get into hotmail to check my emails.
