ya.. me too.. actually it's everybody problem.. you just have to wait sometime then retry again..
don't worry.. !

I can't log into my hotmail, either! I keep getting a connection error...but all the other websites are working fine.

same problem here!!! glad to know its not just me!

I am not having any issue it may be a local issue with your internet provider!

Also here in Italy we are having same problems with msn messenger

This happened to me about a week ago and again today. I was able to sign in about an hour ago and now I can't. A few times it even gave me an error about the certificate not being valid. It does not always give me the same error message. Very strange and frustrating!

here's how i fixed mine:
Click start then run, type regsvr32 softpub.dll and then click OK

for all you speculators, here's the word quoted from Micro$oft:

" We have encountered some problems when deploying an updated release and the service is at the moment down. We are working to solve the problem and we expect to be back online in the next 24 hours. We apologize for any incovenience this might cause.

It was working yesterday till late at night...
Then this morning, suddenly, boom!
I have been using Msn for 2 years now, and this is the second time that something like this happens.
I also noticed there was a kind of msn virus among the users in your list. Every now and then my friends logged in for a minute, left a spam link and then went offline again but it wasn't them!!!?
I hope the MSN guys are trying to fix that thing too, it is awful!
