Cannot Login to Windows Live Messenger

I can login to Windows messenger version 4.7, however, I cannot in version
2009 build 8.5.1302.
Get error code 80072.efd.
Tried trouble shooting, Host File and Key Ports have exclamation marks.
Repair fails to correct. message states "Could be due to improper proxy and
firewall settings.... Turned off all firewalls.
Followed the suggestions in Windows Messenger help site. Nothing is
correcting this login porblem. Cannot believe that the older version allows
login and the newer does not.
