Hi there,make sure you have not de-activated INTERNET EXPLORE section as follows- go to TOOLS and look at the settings if set to(WORK OFF-LINE) set to (WORK ON-LINE) this stopped me the other week from being able to sign into MSN!,i accidently was saving bookmarked pages off-line and forgot to re-inact WORK ONLINE.Hope this helps as a try,the other thing make sure that your AVAST is set up properly and is not blocking access to MSN or any other programs that you have like a FIREWALL BLOCKING ACCESS to MSN.

best regards
