Hello there,
MSN messenger is giving me Can't sign in message and 80048869error. I am tired of trying again and again. Can anyone fix this?

All suggestions are accepted.

The solution is to restart the computer. If this fails, then check your connection and give it the necessary permissions to the firewall. It can be conflict between softwares.
Try to turn internet explorer offline, sign in, it will say that ie is offline, and turn IE back online. If that doesn't work, sign in using 'work offline' on msn and click Go online.

Go to a DOS prompt and type in the following OR go to Start => Run and then copy and paste each line below hitting Enter after each one.

regsvr32 Dssenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Gpkcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Slbcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Sccbase.dll /s
regsvr32 Softpub.dll /s

regsvr32 Rsaenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Mssip32.dll /s
regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll /s

These statements do is re-register the cryptographic files for Windows XP.

To get rid of this error, download, install and then run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility and click on the line(s) that show MSN Messenger(s) and then select the Remove button.
Before trying to re-install MSN Messenger open up IE and then go to Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Delete Files -> select Delete All offline Content and then select OK and then OK.
Then, go to explorer and delete the MSN Messenger folder typically located in C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger. Re-boot your computer and then go to the MSN Messenger Download Site and re-download the latest Messenger. Do not choose to open it - instead download the entire program to your desktop.
You should now have a completely removed MSN Messenger program, a cleared out Internet cache and a new download of the MSN Messenger program on your desktop.
Now install the new Messenger by clicking on the icon and following the on-screen prompts and then re-start and re-try to sign in.
