MSN messenger and Hotmail

[lisa74656]

i am currently unable to sign in to msn messenger and i cannot get onto the hotmail site. messenger comes up with the error message 0x81000370 and hotmail just comes up this page cannot be displayed. have tried all the solutions i can find on google and updated everything to the newest version. Also uninstalled and reinstalled antivirus and firewall. All the solutions on google however mainly involved changing settings in internet explorer and say it's a problem with all secure sites. However i also use mozilla nd opera and i cannot access hotmail on these either. I can access other secure sites fine. There is another site i cannot access but it's not secure. Anyone have any ideas? only thing i can think to do now is reinstall windows but i really can't be bothered!

I think this is a caused by a corrupt version of Norton. The following link describes an identical problem and solution.

Norton can be an absolute pain sometimes - I had a similar problem with my mothers PC and had to make a 300 mile round trip to diagnose and fix the problem, and I only discovered it was Norton by accident.

Thanks for your help. I did try it but it didn't work. Ended up just reinstalling windows and it's now all fine.
