Problems with signing into MSN

My internet is working fine. Except that I can't sign into any .net passport related site. I can sign into MSN explorer and check my emails but when I try to sign into MSN Messenger it sais the service is temporarily unavailable. At first I could not sign into MSN Explorer at all but then I did this step
"try this ,START>RUN> then type in box.. regsvr32 softpub.dll"
I read about from another thread, so my problem is half fixed, still in need of some help.

is all your software up to date? can you sign into msn passport sites using different browsers?

sorry - dunno what the problem is but i'd explore those avenues first so you can narrow down the problem

The problem is I can't sign into MSN Messenger. I can check my emails and everything but I can't talk to any friends.
