i've got several pc's running 2k3 - so i'm quite used to it's behaviour, etc - just a strange one tonight - formatted and installed, completely basic and usual - first thing i did was install the modem then msn messenger. i have always gona by this method. But today, msn won't connect - the web version will - but not the standard application version. when i checked the service status, it was all go. just wondered if anyone knew what was going on - i couldn't count how many times i've installed 2k3, first time i've had this kind of issue

ok then guys - sorry to reply to my own question; but - system date and time was wrong - we were in sep 2002. changed in to current GMT, then signed in no problem. I have absolutely no clue why it was an issue, but there we go.
