I should have mentioned about this problem as I had the same thing happen after the repair install, here's how you fix the problem, exit MSN, go to:
- C:/User/Your user name/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/MSNMessenger/
- C:/Users/Your user name/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsLiveContacts/
and delete the contents of these folders and sign on, or least that's what I think I did, better just backup those files in case I was wrong but I am 90% sure that's all it was.
Just wanted to add this for future reference as I recently reinstalled Windows and had a problem with messenger again and none of the other steps in this thread or most of the internet helped so I really don't want to loose this very important step to fixing this problem that I have spent hours trying to find the solution for.
You need to run the Command Prompt as Administrator, then type in: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
That's it, simple as it sounds that's all it takes, now what I reallly want to know is why Microsoft hasn't implemented an update to fix this little problem.
