For no reason, I was unable to connect to MSN Messenger today.
I got the error message as below.
Fix this error / possible solution
To correct the time on your computer, double-click the clock in the bottom right of your screen, in the window that appears you should check both the time and date.
If you use Windows XP, you can automatically correct the time by clicking the “Internet Time” tab, next click the “Update Now” button.
I checked the date of my Windows and found out it was back dated to year 2004. Once I set it back to 2005, I was able to connect back to MSN Messenger. Yea! :D

When i click ok the run pop up closes so i just can’t download anything . Please help me.

Once you reset your router, MTU Size also is reset. here is how you can correct;
1. Log in your Router
2. Go to WAN Set Up
3. Look for MTU Size, if it is set to 1500 change to 1492 for PPPoE connections.
4. Click Apply and restat your router.
Note: It may not work for all routers, I use NETGEAR.
MTU Size
The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes, 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections, or 1436 for PPTP connections. For some ISPs you may need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection
All the best.

It solved for me.
I have the same problem log in to the MSN messenger after I saw this page I solved the proble.
Thank you
Go Raymond dude you’re deservant of a fucking medal, If it’s any help to people in the future, this happened to me after I restored my “last settings to work” in setup while the computer was on start up. If anyone has done this their time will still be correct if they syncronise it through windows yet the YEAR will be 2000 because the computer restores the same settings as it would have when it was brand new.
Rock On
I fixed it! All of you who haven’t yet, and who know you have the correct time, when you try to sign in, watch. Does it change the amount of characters in your password? It always changed mine to eight. So I made my password eight characters, and I can sign in!
mine i exactly the same please help as i would like to read my emails!!! i dont want to try loads of random things incase i break my laptop as i am not that good with computers and would probably not no how to correct my mistakes! someone help me asap!!!
thanks
xx
All of a sudden i could not log into MSN Messenger 7.5, and error code 80048820 keeps coming up, i check the time/date and updated it but still doesn’t work, i runned the file which finds all the files needed on your computer but that didn’t work either, then i tried uninstalling MSN Messanger and re-installing it and that still did not work. I honestly don’t know what to do and would be greatful for any help! Thanks.
Had the same problem, couldn’t login to hotmail or msn messenger. I googled it and found a few solutions, most of them given in the comments above. But what worked for me was, I stopped Norton Internet Security from running its expired subscription and the very next moment I could login in.
80048820
its not working its takes so long to type my e-mail and troubleshoot comes up and the number at the coner of the pop up is 80048883 HELP ME PLZ!!!!!!
Hey, I had the same problem with this, and tried all the various options to solve it. I actually found that it was the order on which I logged onto the router network at home. If you share your internet connection, try getting everyone to log off and then try to geton to msn. worked for me. hope this is of some help.
Our kids had any rong click on the key board.
Raymond,
Just like David, i’ve tried everything but one, i changed my connection from adsl trhough wireless router to a dialup and i connected. Why could this happen?
YEaa same Problem .. SOLVED
THx dude .
Hi guys, after 3 days i’ve find the possible solution for the 80048820 error of msn.i’ve read on this site that a possible solution is the uncorrect time of your pc!!
it can be strange but when i changed my time(that was 12 april 2002)!! immediately i connected to msn!!!!
i hope that you’ll take my advice,thanks.

thank you so much mine was set in december instead of february!!!
i’ve been using build 7.5 for a long time and only just a few days ago it decided it didn’t want to work. i tried all of the suggestions here in the forum and nothing worked. i had success when i visited this website:
msnfanatic.com/articles/solving-error-80048820-444.html
i followed their instructions:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regsvr32 softpub.dll and then click OK.
Restart MSN Messenger.
and it finally worked :)
Just download MSN 7.0 that fixed my problem !!
Thank you for fixing my msn i had no clue that msn would not work just because the clock was set at the wrong time.
I had the same problem and I fixed it.
Check this out. In Internet Explorer, go to the Tools/Internet options/Advanced and uncheck the Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart) and restart your Internet Explorer and your MSN Messenger.
After that I managed to login without problem.
Hope it helped :o)
Jazzy
thank you very much, i changed the time and date and i could connect to MSN Messenger, very simple huh!!!!
Its pretty simple to resolve, on your internet explorer, goto tools, options, advanced, scroll all the way to the bottom and uncheck server certification revocation (requires start). Your problem solved!
GOT IT FIXED!!!!

Checked clock, un/re-install of messenger, used patch above. I eventually fixed my problem by a firmware upgrade on my router.
im having this problem too. when i go tools->options->connections-> it says that i am not currently connected to the .NET MEssenger Service. please help
I have the same problem i think. My msn messenger won’t let me sign in, i can’t access any of my email accounts and there are only certain websites that i can get onto. However my yahoo messenger is working fine so i figured it was an msn problem. I have tried most of the suggestions. but everytime i try to alter my nortan antivirus it says a problem has been encountered and has to close. So there is not much else i can try. Please HELP!
Amanda: Visit this page and download the QFE Patch to solve your MSN Messenger problems.
I have checked all of my systems and they say they are all fine. I also checked my clock, date, and a lot of other tests on my computer. It still does not work, I cannot sign onto msn. I have tried to use trouble shoot to help me figure out what is wrong, but it is not working for me…SOMEONE HELP ME !!!!!
thank you so much…..spent all day trying to fix it. cheers :)
i had this problem and couldnt find anything to help me, then i red the error message properly and figured it out…i had zonealarm set to high and so it wasnt working…i put msn messenger into the allowed programs and it worked fine. dan
Ohh and i deleted norton too. Sry for double post
Ive FIXED IT!. I just ran Ad-Aware scan on my computer,deleted the threats and tried signing in again.
Hope this helps. Just run a spyware scan(Ad-aware worked for me) and delete the threats.
Thanks alot Raymond. You have been of a great help with me….I dont no how my computer’s date was incorrect but that did fix the problem. Thanks friend and have a nice day.

i had the same problem too and it causes by norton 2005, i had to remove it and install another anti virus.
There is a problem with the MSN Messenger 7.5.0311.
Hopefully the new built which is coming soon will fix the login problem.
It seems that only certain accounts are affected. If you try login to MSN Messenger using a different username, it works.
I’ve tried everything still doesn’t let me log in. I’ll check back on this page soon hopefully to find out what i can do to fix this problem. Thanks.
tried a few things and nothing. even considering paying a fortune to get someone to fix it.
norton has expired and cant seem to take it off to put on an older version! arrrgh
Drew: Try disabling your Norton and see if your MSN Messenger is able to connect.
David: Looks like you’re not able to run any other applications other than IE, am I right? Any firewall/spyware blocking the applications? Perhaps there is a hidden firewall that only allows IE to run and blocks the rest.
I’ve been trying to fix this on a friend’s computer. Nothing seems to work. Tried Firefox and found that it can’t even connect to the Internet! IE appears to be the only app on his PC that will connect. In fact, from the command prompt a telnet to port 80 on his wireless router won’t even work – though you can access it via IE. Never seen that before. Something odd going on.
Same problem, tried sorting my clock..it was right anyway…tried running that file…still doesnt work…it has only been playing up ever since my Nortan has been…
PLEASE HELP!
hey. ive tried everything. troubleshooted. time is correct. ran the file. reinstalled. status page says everything is ok. please please pleae help me!!! arrgh!!!
My msn messenger is messed up too, same thing and it is sometimes saying this error or a different one cane you help me i have checked everything it still dont work and i even reinstalled
Frank: Can’t login to ebay, hotmail or anything that involves a log in?
I think that has nothing to do with this error because this is specifically for MSN Messenger problem.
Try using a different browser such as Firefox at mozilla.org/
same problem, but cannot log into ebay, hotmail or anything that involves a log in apart from forums.
i have the same problem stated above i checked time run the file above but still have a problem stating that the gateway is appeared to be offline and i cannot connect my msn messenger
can u please help to fix this problem.
If you still have problems connecting with the time adjusted, try to run this file. This will make sure MSN Messenger can find all the files it needs on your computer. Note that running the file can take a few minutes.
the error of 80048820, ive checked the time and its currect.the proxy seems to be fine aswell, can some1 help?
