I filled in the forum that msn give you if you need suport, and they emailed me with that stupid autimated system, and i tried what it told me.. but it dosent help me at all, i still have the problem.

Im running windows XP home edition and windows live.This is the email Msn sent me (im sure you have seen this before)
