I installed the update for MSN Messenger on my PDA, but it didn't help. My
sign-in credentials are correct. I had them saved but re-entered them
anyways, but it didn't help. All my other internet-capable functions work
perfectly (Internet Explorer, Email, etc.). It's only the MSN Messenger which
is unable to sign on. I believe there may be an issue with my individual MSN
account, since I'm also unable to sign in to MSN Live Mail from my PDA using
Internet Explorer. It says the page cannot be found, although all the other
MSN Live pages (Spaces, etc.) come up. The time on my device is set to sync
with Activesync as well, so that's not the issue. If it's not my device and
not my internet connection and there's no problem with using two different
platforms, then the problem must lie with my account in the MSN Live system
itself, as far as I can see. Thanks for your help.
