Strange MSN Login problem (Login error code 80048834)

No idea what this means, but I thought I'd post it in case anyone else was having the same problem - don't you just love spurious error codes?

I was trying for a while to sign on to MSN messenger but I kept getting error code 80048834 (ohhhh...that one....). After some help from Google I came across a forum post where a couple of people were having the same issue. Anyway, for people skimming this post I'll jump straight to the solution...

Fix

Go to http://login.live.com, login, accept their terms, then try again. I did this and I was taken to "Page not found" at http://storage.msn.com (which I still can't access), but at least I can now login. There was a post on the Microsoft Communities website maybe shedding some more light on the issue - it seems it could be something to do with the time on your PC being incorrect.

I'm glad yours was the first (or second?) in google. This fixed it. It was awful because I couldn't sign in to ask my friends about it. However, I can now warn whoever is on about the error, and refer them here to tell them how to fix it. Thank you.
