MSN messenger 80072ee7 error

Hi there,
I keep getting the error message 80072ee7, whenever i try to get in to msn messenger. Can anybody fix this?

All suggestions are welcome.

This error occurs when you are not connected to the internet, check your internet connection and make sure it is working properly.
The most likely cause for this problem is that your firewall does not allow Messenger to access the internet. This happens often if you install a new version of Messenger. Make sure Messenger is allowed access in your firewall rules.

It is easy to fix this error. You can try following solution:

• Click Start button
• Click Run
• Enter following in the box:
  Quote:

  ---

  regsvr32 softpub.dll
  regsvr32 wintrust.dll
  regsvr32 initpki.dll

  ---

• Press Enter after each one.

Try to sign in to messenger. Hope it helps. :thumbup1:

This error might also occur if a proxy server is enabled in Messenger or Internet Explorer while you do not use one. To remove the proxy settings, click the "Tools" menu and then "Options" at your Messenger main window. Then in the options screen click "Connection" in the list to the left. Next, click the "Advanced Settings" button. You can try and uncheck all checkboxes in this screen except the one labeled "TCP" to let Messenger connect through a direct connection. If that does not work you can restore the settings again by checking the boxes you unchecked before.
