Greetings Emmy,
Among other things, this error can popup if there's a problem with encryption in Windows.
Firstly, make sure your computer's date and time is set correctly. You can check this by
clicking on the clock in the corner.
Secondly, head over to
https://account.live.com in Internet Explorer and attempt to log in
using your Windows Live ID. See if you get any errors there.
Finally, open up the main Messenger window (obviously not signed in), press the Alt key on
the keyboard to bring up the menu bar, choose Tools, then Options, then the Connection
category, and choose the Start button under the Connection TroubleShooter. Then answer back
with the tests that didn't pass.
