Hi Jonathan,
yes i was in 2 minds as to where to post this but it seems the only place
this shows obviously is in the Live messenger and this 8100030d error message
and it WAS working perfectly until Messenger was installed.
I am struggling with it and can't see anything obvious that i can change. I
have tried putting the Internet Zone to 'safe' (which i know it isn't!) and
also removing my firewall to check if these were the cause but it seems not.
ALL other sites work like a dream - I even checked sites which I KNOW would
be restricted if it was something my ISP was doing and those were fine.
I've looked at most answers for this including removing the cache etc but
there must be some setting somewhere ...not sure what other info i can get.
is there a 'log' of it's attempts to login so I can see exactly what might be
causing the issue.
I am pretty sure it is messenger related though but I could be wrong - I am
a pretty techie savvy guy so I have tried all sorts of the obvious
solutions...it's weird..
Any help/thoughts would be appreciated....
