One of my users is locked out of his messages in Messenger.

I am not sure which is best to use, Windows Messnger or MSN, the email address is ABC@msn.com.
Using Win XP SP1, the messages worked till last week in Hotmail, but are no longer available, and the user can not say whether he has changed something or if Microsoft has upgraded something. When I tried to log in I got a message that Windows does not support .Net Passport you are signed in to. Visit the Hotmail site, when I did, I was not able to download the required file.
Help!

Use MSN messenger if you have to use messenger at all.
Try to send something to the address with an email client. See if you get a rejection notice from the mail server.
Is it @hotmail or @msn?
Use this script to remove Windows Messenger if you want to install MSN messenger.

I got a reply from Microsoft - it was their fault and they just fixed it so it's working now, but thanks for your help.
