    This any help?

    Error Code: 80048820 - Windows Live

    The fact that my reply to you posted above your question indicates your computer clock is way off.

    On my computer this post shows it was sent in July 2010, so check your date
    again.

    Hi,

    It's regsvr32 (not reggsvr32). mssip32 is a protected file in XP SP2, so you'd actually have
    to take great lengths for it to be missing.

    An accurate date/time is critical however for proper SSL/Messenger/Windows Live ID login
    operation.

    Thanks for spotting this. I kept overlooking this all the time..... MSN
    works again. Very embarrassing. I wonder how my computer clock managed to
    get this far off though.

    Well, the misspelling must be the reason why Windows couldn't find. I copied
    and pasted the names of the dll's from the help pages on Windows Live
    Messenger's web site ;-)

    thanks,
