no connectivity after installation

After I upgrade to Windows Live Messenger 8.1 from 7.5, I can no longer
connect to the internet, much less log in to messenger. I've tried
installing / uninstalling several times, but no luck. Windows Messenger
works fine. I tried turning off the firewall also, and that didn't work
either.

Can anyone help?
