MSN and Hotmail Won't Work

My MSN Messenger and Hotmail won't work. It tells me that my password is incorrect ( which it's not). When I try to change the password I can't.

It tells me that I am not connected.

OS is WIN XP
cable internet service
MSN Messenger 6.1

I went to the connection tab and wrote down what was in there. Not sure what it means but here it is.

Type SOCKS Version 4
Port 1080


Thanks

Loree

Sounds like you are trying to connect through a proxy. Go into Control Panel, Internet Options - Connections tab, then LAN settings - and uncheck all 3 boxes.

I am having a smiliar problem, but two weird things inconnection with this is:
I am unable to open Control PAnel, and I am unable to right-click.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?
