Outlook Express Error 0x80004005

If you encounter this error when signing in, please install the latest version of Windows Live Messenger from http://get.live.com/messenger/overview
"Signing in to .NET Messenger Service failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later 0x80004005"
The Microsoft .NET Passport account is blocked by the .NET Messenger Service because the computer may be running a third-party (non-Microsoft) program that is not licensed by Microsoft. This is a violation of the MSN Messenger Terms of Use..To fix this, you have to request that your email address be unblocked from MSN Messenger. This is a one time deal and you can only be un-blocked from the messenger service once so make sure that you have removed any offending software add-on's before asking
You can either contact msn if you have a paying msn account 1-800-635-7019 or go to http://messenger.msn.com/Help/ContactUs.aspx for non paying customers and request that the account be unblocked.
