Windows 7 - Windows live messenger killing me

hey... i ma new here and i get this error on windows live messenger -- we cannot sign you into windows live messenger, your contact list is unavailable-- error code is 80072EE2

Uninstall and try installing again.

that doesnt help.. i formatted and intalled again but nothing seems to be working ( it also says i ma not connected to .net service)

Type services in search. Go to the service in question, set to on and automatic.

i dont get what your saying...

Go to search, by startup menu. In search type the word services. You will be presented with the service menu. In that menu search for the service .net service. Look at it, if it is off turn it on. If it is set to manual set to automatic. Then hit apply. Then see if your messenger works.

well.. sorry but it doesnt show anything when i type that

Try it this way. Go to help (in start menu) type start services go to system services then go to change current state of services. If you get that far you should see the service in question.

There is an easy solution for this problem in the link below from Microsoft.

Other solutions like this one are all over the internet.
I solved it by double clicking on the time
(bottom right), then click on the 'internet time' tab, then click on 'update
now' button........... now wait for it to update (it will tell you!) then
once finished click apply or ok!

you may have to turn your internet off to do this and restart to take affect!

wel..that does not work either... it says timeout when i click update
