Fix error 80048820 with MSN Messenger 7.5.0322

Just a couple of days ago I got an update prompt while using 7.5.0311 and thought build 322 was being deployed. Sure enough, a post on the Messenger Support Space has appeared about it and claims to have fixed the dreaded 80048820 error which made an appearance with MSN Messenger 7.5

If you haven’t been prompted to update (which is likely if you can’t sign in…), go grab it from the MSN Messenger Web site and see if that darn error has disappeared.

  • what i need to do clock don’t help internet options don’t help :S

  • I tried everything to fix this and no luck – so instead re-installed all the drivers for my pc – network card drivers, video card driver etc etc etc and then re-booted. Started MSN again and tried to login and it worked! Took about 18hrs but got there in the end!

    Good luck.

  • I have error code 80048820 and i havent a clue on how to change the date and time. i have been on almost all of the help pages and not one of them has worked. I go on msn constantly because none of my friends live nrear me and we are almost always busy at school and its hard to talk. i really need help. this is almost a life or death situation. I would be forever grateful for some help.

  • o figured out how to do it! it really works people. click on the time in the corner and a thing will come up alowwing u to change the time but u will have to ask administrator if u r not the administrator. hope this helps anyone who got confuzzled like me!

    6. Adjust the Microsoft Internet Explorer security settings:

    a. Start Internet Explorer.

    b. On the “Tools” menu, click” Internet Options,” and then click the “Advanced” tab.

    c. In the “Security” section, verify the following settings:

    -Clear the “Check for server certificate revocation” check box.

    -Select the “Use SSL 2.0″ check box.

    -Select the “Use SSL 3.0″ check box.

    d. Click “OK” to close the window.

  • double click on your clock and go to the internet time tab and update the time. it took me 3 days to figure out that was the only problem.

  • OMG! IT FINALLY FECKING WORKED!
    I cannot thank you guys enough. Just try removing the certificate on internet explorer!

    I LOVE YOU!
