I have recently purchased a new laptop with Windows Vista Basic on it and now I cant get either MSN or Yaho messenger to connect it says my firewall is blocking it so I turned everything off my firewall and turned all my internet security off and still it wont connect Ive even gone to the extent of formatting and still it wont work.

Both of these programs are in my allowed list so it shold work and both are designed for Windows Vista.

Anyone else think of anything I can try?

Thank you very much

Also just did the troubleshoot for MSN and it says theres a problem with my key ports if this helps and that I should check my firewall which I dont have one or my proxy settings?

Hi atticusblack19. I take it you are using a 3rd party firewall. Try uninstalling it, reboot and tell us if you still have a problem.
