Hey Andy,
It'd be easier to say what exactly the problem was if we had the exact error code or what
failed on the troubleshooter (if the troubleshooter was offered, it isn't always, depending
on the situation).
Messenger uses the same interfaces that Internet Explorer does to reach the Internet, as well
as require IE and Windows encryption libraries to be fully functional.
