Fix error 80048820 with MSN Messenger 7.5.0322

support

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.

    Well, actually I had the 80048820 Error now (April) and it wouldn’t fix it with any update available (uninstalled and reinstalled Messenger from Microsoft page, so it should be up to date I think). Actually all you can do is set your clock right. Well did take me 4 hours to realize it. I tried to synchronize my watch. but windows wouldn’t even do that. perhaps i should have booted to linux and reset system time from there :D

  2. 2 Megan

    ERRR!!! This problem is horrible! I have had it since like march! I havent been able to get on since then! How do i fix it? Nohting wil work i fixed my clock too! PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

  3. 3 Joyce

    Manuel is right. Error 80048820 will not be fix by any reinstallation or updates. We just need to set out time /clock settings to update. I was offline for 3 days and upon trying, presto! Im back!

  7. 7 Luca

    thankyou guys
    the clock fix seems to do the trick, making sure the date time and year is correct seemed to work fo my msn, i ow you guys my life and sanity =D

  8. 8 Ian Gordian

    if fixing the clock time does’t work look for new instaled devices (soundcard, modem, router, webcam… any devices) and look if they are fully instaled meaning they apear in “device manager” if they don’t shut down the computer, and remove the device… it worked on 5 computers i looked up does with msn messenger 7.5 and windows live messenger

  9. 9 Jordan

  17. 17 katherine

    Yes, I have the same problem…error 80048820, extended code 8004840f. It is becoming serious! I have tried the date and time thing. It is all correct and my computer is in 24hour clock so it isn’t the am/pm problem. I can’t get into my email account…the page just says “this page cannot be displayed.”
    Someone please post something other than check the time and date because it really hasn’t helped me as of yet.
    Thanks in advance,
    Katherine.

  28. 28 Darkpuppy

    Hihi,

    I faced the same problem as everybody for nearly a month. But i just solved the error half an hour ago. There were more than 1 firewall in my system and that caused some error in synchronising time. I thus delete my Norton Anti Virus, leaving just Windows Firewall. Upon deletion, my connection to MSN was resumed. =) I hope my method can work for those who shared the same plight as me. Godspeed!

  38. 38 Wale

    I FOUND A SOLUTION….

    Go to internet explorer!

    -Tools
    -Advanced
    -and uncheck SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0
    - Click apply
    -then try login again to msn messenger.

    After you log in, you can go back to your internet explorer setting and enable SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 and everything carries on working fine.

    This worked me, hope it works for you.

  39. 39 aggrivated

    My msn messenger worked fine last night.I try to log in today,and I get the “key ports” error.I’ve tried everything that y’all have.and NOTHING! I think it maybe MSN updating differen’t sections at a time.Who knows.If its not msn having problems its yahoo..

    I think I’ll go to trillian.This is becoming more of a pain than its worth!

  40. 40 Captain Drums

    The answer to this error is due to the proxys as the secound error gives, a quick and easy way to fix this is to open your msn client window (obviously don’t need to sign in) then in the top right corner you will see a box with an arrow in it, click it to bring down the menu, on the tools menu select options, under the connection select advanced settings, under SOCKS, delete the entrys, click ok, then click ok again, if you don’t see an option to delete the SOCKS (like I didn’t) simply click test on the socks and proxys, ignore what it says, then run the connetion trouble shooter from this menu, this should give your key ports the all clear and allow you to sign in.

  41. 41 duggy

    wtf are keyports and why are they cumin up as ba on trouble shooter msn is so crazy these days??

  42. 42 Captain Drums

    key ports are basicly a walkway to and from your computer to the internet, if msn can’t find the ports or they are blocked, it cannot connect you to it, they need to be cleard or found by msn first, if the step I posted is followed it should hopefully free up these ports or refresh the proxys and allow you to connect

  43. 43 ross

    this still dont work i think it because i deleted the number next to the socks

  44. 44 Katicus

    Mr Captain Drums Sir you are a genius.

  45. 45 XXXXX

    thank you dearly…

  49. 49 jane

    I had the same problem, not able to sign into messenger. One day it was fine and the next it was a no go. Tried all the time date, socks, SSL, firewall etc etc. Tried deleting the program and re-install, restart the pc….nothing seemed to work. Then I decided if it was a problem with the connection as the error code suggested, I would try turning the broadband modem off and then on again. Pooof I have messenger back again. Worth a try guys.

  50. 50 Kate

    mmm…still not workin. What are KEY PORTS??? may i ask, and why have mine all of a sudden been messed up?
    i went on to the norton internet security thing, and it said that one of the problems was an IM security thing was turned off, but i dont know if it had maybe always been, and even if it wasnt on i should still be able to use msn, right?
    computers are so confusing!!

  51. 51 Kate

    OKay every body!!!! i am sad and i have been spending all afternoon working on this and i am now soooooo happy cos msn is working again!!

    EEEK!! could i BE any happier?!?!?

    okay so go to this website, and i no it looks complicated, cos i have error 8004888d or somethin and i have msn 8.1. if u dont i dunno if it works for 7.5 but its not hard to download at all.
    when u find out what u hav to do u’ll think omg it looks so complicated…BUT DO IT. and okay, if it doeant work dont blame me…
    so they give u a load of codes and u click start and run… and copy and paste each one in…one …after the …other

    when i did it i tried to sign on and a new thing came up about my contact list and i was like “AGGGGHHHHH! what is wrong with the world???!!!” but thankfully i tried again and WOW!! am i glad i did…

    please try this! and dont kill me if it doesnt work but it should!!

  52. 52 Kate

    oops i forgot to give u the website i got so excited!

    http://msn-errors.blogspot.com/

    and remember to scroll down, dont just look blanky at the screen for 5 minutes like i did!!

  53. 53 Helle (Denmark)

    I just had this problem too. I was working at the university with my laptop two hours ago and it was working fine, but when I got home it wasn’t working anymore. I couldn’t log on MSN and I got that stupid error code. I tried a lot of stuff, but nothing helped until I closed MSN completely down by rightclicking on the icon in the corner by the clock. Then I opened the program again, and I logged on without any problem! :)

    I hope it may be helpful for any of you.

  54. 54 freewirless

    yeh that clock thing worked out thanx

  55. 55 freewirless

    note that also yahoo mesnger didnt work either so as i fixed the time it worked! lol thanx yo

  56. 56 MSNWORKKS

    OMG
    im so happy
    right everyone this is really important READ

    right………
    youv tried everything?
    clock? internet settings? installing and uninstalling? yada yada yada!

    DONT BOTHER KEEPING TRYING!
    all you need to do is restore your computer to when msn worked
    go on help and support
    then performance and maintenence
    then using system restore to undo changes
    then on the pick a task list
    go on run the system restore wizard
    then take it from there and restore it to an earlier day
    i restored my computer to 2 weeks earlier and now everything is perfect! and all my files are still there and everything!

    please let me know if it helps!
    it worked a treat for me! :) x

    I have two internet connections on my PC. a work network and a 3g network.

    When I’m at work, and try to login, none of the microsoft based products work. That is, outlook, explorer and msn. But if I enable the 3g connection, then it does.

    It seems, that when you have two or more networks, the microsoft based networking tries to connect using a network that does not exist.

    I haven’t got an solution to fix that, but it’s a starting piont.

  58. 58 Brian

    Getting rid of Norton firewall and leaving just windows personal firewall worked for me on this problem that was driving me f**king crazy. Many thanks to darkpuppy

  59. 59 spinnee

    clock worked for me.

    register ssl worked too.

    using ccleaner to clean my registry worked too.

    anyway if the clock doesn’t synchornize (which mine didn’t), just adjust the time 1 min before/after. it really works.

    Hi Guys

    Thank you for the brilliant idea!!!!!!!!

    It works really well with my computer. Always make sure to adjust the time and date to the current date and time.

    No need to uninstall and install this msn messenger from your computer which is quite hard and lots of hassles to do.

    hey everyone,

    for those who tried everything said before and couldn’t fix the problem, as i did:
    if u r using internet explorer, please try the following and see if it works for u, it worked for me and fixed the msn error and now i can log in to all webmails internet explorer.
    if u r using Opera as your browser, i don’t think it will work coz it didn’t for me when i was using Opera, it only worked for Internet explorer.

    HERE IT GOES:
    1) open internet explorer
    2) type:”http://nntime.com/” in the address bar
    3) in this site you just entered,find the Proxy IP and Port number of the Proxy server, according to the country u r located at and the organization that is providing the network.
    (example: -country: Argentina
    -organization: CABLEVISION S.A.
    the proxy IP is:24.232.185.214
    the port is: 2655
    )
    4)at the internet explorer toolbar, click:
    Tools->Internet options->Connections->LAN Settings
    5)check the “use proxy server for…”
    6)next to “Address:”, type the proxy IP that you got from step 3).
    next to “Port:”. type the Port number that you got from step 3).
    7)uncheck the “Automatic detect settings”( but i don’t think it would matter to check it or not)
    8)click on “OK” and go back to internet explorer
    9)enter Windows Messenger and try to Log IN now.

    hope it works for u all.

  79. 79 Andy

    I had the same problem, my wireless connection is community broadband so i cant reach the router. I can acess MSN fine on other wireless connections just not on the one at my house!! Any ideas? Cant access any msn sites and ping requests time out.

  80. 80 netproblem

    Yeah fixedhe clock fixed the messenger. Thank u thank u .

  81. 81 nav

    Thank you MSNWORKKS… great advice!!

    If you still have this problem even after checking your time/date settings, just do a system restore to a point when you were able to sign in to MSN-related pages (Hotmail, Messenger, etc). Read the post above by MSNWORKKS on June 1st 2007 for details on how to do this.

    You wont lose any recently saved documents, files, etc, but the system restore should hopefully fix this error.

    I am now able to sign in to check my email and other pages thanks to the system restore. Thanks again MSNWORKKS!!

  82. 82 Schizo

    the best and easiest way is just do a system restore.

  83. 83 Maz

    Setting the clock to the right date fixed it for me.

  84. 84 Sohail

    Yeah…clock fixation works…take care of date and year as well…
    Rock on! :)

  85. 85 Me

    It wasn’t until quite recently that I realised that my time settings were set to June, not July. Otherwise the time day and year settings were fine. What a waste of time I spent trying to do all that other stuff!

  86. 86 Fex

    I hate to add to this already very lengthy list of mixed responses, but I -finally- figured out that having multiple firewalls enabled can prevent your computer from successfully sending your system’s time to be compared when logging on to MSN Messenger or dozens of other sites that require time validation. This problem can occur even though your firewall isn’t blocking MSN Messenger explicitly.

    I disabled my Norton firewall, and voila: MSN Messenger is fully functional, as well as all the other sites I was previously unable to log in to.

    Cheers!

    my problem was that I had a tunnel proxy server activated for my IE (the one messenger uses) connection, but not for my Fx connection, so I thought I was connected, though my tunnel proxy was down for IE :) removed the tunnel proxy configuration in Internet Options, and I got connected again.

    How do you know if you have this or some problem like this..
    If you can’t browse with IE.

    My error code is 80048820 and my extended error code is 8004840a and I have Windows Live Messenger.

    I’ve always had to use my AOL connection to sign onto MSN or to use Internet Explorer, although I don’t need to on Mozilla Firefox, but now we’ve changed from AOL I can’t connect anymore :( I’ve tried all the suggestions above but none of them seem to work.

    Please help me, my email is roseannegill@hotmail.co.uk any help will be greatly appreciated!! :)

    Hey I’ve sorted it out, if anyone needs help I suggest to go onto windows spaces and look for any support pages!!

    This worked for me

    Remove any Internet Explorer proxy server settings.

    1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools and then click Internet Options.
    2. In the Internet Options dialog box, go to the Connections tab.
    3. Click LAN Settings.
    4. Untick the Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections) checkbox.
    5. Click OK and OK again Internet Options.

    I have error 80048820, extended code 8004840f, and I’ve done everything i’ve read in this forum, including a system restore and uninstall reinstall of 8.1.

    I’ve cut and pasting everything imaginable through the run key, checked the time/date 10 times. I cannot open the hotmail webpage at all to check email or anything through this computer. All other web pages open fine. Can anybody help me?

  93. 93 luli

    so it means that there is still no solution about the msn 7.5 on windows xp, I don`t understand why they upgrade to 8.1 , it sucks really, shit, so tell me please in my email if there is any news about 7.5 in windows xp. thanks

  94. 94 BRENDA

    Just change the time! not change it but fix it. There are more soultions, because this had already happened to me, nut i dont remember how I had fixed it before, but, what I did this time is that I opened the time box, then I just moved everything. Like it was on september, and I put september and apply, hen the time zone. then apply and that was it!

    This Error code 80048820 (extended code 8004840f) IS DRIVING ME F*CKING NUTS!!!

    Been having it ever since I HAD to update my MSN messenger from 7.5 to the latest version of MSN Live. I’ve tried EVERYTHING that’s been suggested in forums. Nothing can beat the 80048820 error code!

    MY SPECS
    ——–
    MSN mail: xxxxxxx@yahoo.com
    OP: Windows XP SP2 Professional version 2002
    Motherboard: Asus P5K SE
    Ethernet card: Built-in Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet
    Cable Modem: SpeedTouch 716/716g

    I have no anti-virus program, no router (well a cable modem), only the windows XP SP2 firewall. (I do not use proxy)

    * I’ve checked my clock (date and time)
    * I’ve registered softpub.dll, wintrust.dll, initpki.dll, MSXML3.dll, Rsaenh.dll, Mssip32.dll, Cryptdlg.dll, Dssenh.dll, Gpkcsp.dll, Slbcsp.dll, Sccbase.dll
    * I’ve flushed DNS
    * I’ve tried ‘ipconfig /release’ and then ‘ipconfig /renew’ in cmd
    * I’ve deactivaded the windows firewall and tried logging in…
    * I’ve set Explorer to Auto-detect proxy server settings
    * I’ve deleted all cookies
    * I’ve cleaned my computer with AD-Aware SE
    * I’ve cleaned MSN with ImpFIX
    * I’ve tried to repair MSN (error with key ports)
    * I’ve checked the Using SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0 boxes
    * I’ve unchecked the ‘Check for server certificate revocation’ box
    * I’ve set my cablemodem to allow ALL ports between 0-10000
    * I’ve reinstalled Windows XP numerous times
    * I’ve reinstalled MSN messenger numerous times
    * I’ve checked that MSN system is “Stabe and running” on the Internet
    * I’ve deleted HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\Policies with regEdit

    … still I get the same old damn error code! And worst of all is that there are no clues to the solution given. There are only a few hints I’ve collected during the past 2 weeks:

    * When I troubleshoot the error something seems to be wrong with the key ports (cannot be repaired).
    * My MSN works perfectly at school and other places except on MY computer at home.
    * I’ve tried logging in with friends accounts at home. 2 hotmail accounts, none of them worked (same error code).
    * I’ve tried another friends account, he uses a xxx@msn.se mail, it worked 1 time! But now I get the same error code again also when trying to log in with his account.
    * So I had a friend make me a new account with a msn.se mail… no good…. same error code.
    * I’ve tried using Trillian, gAIM, Pidgin and eBuddy. None of them works either (cannot connect).
    * I cannot access neither microsoft.com, msn.com or msn-errors.blogspot.com
    * My yahoo mail works as usual (I’ve heard of people being unable to access their hotmails).
    * No matter what login mail or password I write, the same error code appears.

    Now I’m kinda all out of ideas… this is so f*cking strange! It can’t be a virus or a worm since I’ve been re-installing windows several times and the first thing I do is to install MSN Live and try to log in. It can’t be a firewall problem since I’ve tried logging in with no anti-virus program or firewall activated at all. And the problem it NOT the freakin’ clock!

    What I don’t know much about is hardware, could this be a hardware-problem? Something with my cable modem? Something with my built-in network card? But then why is it only msn that does’nt work? I does’nt make any sense!

    Damn this is wearing me out… anyone else who might bring me a solution? Coz I’m all out of ideas here. =(

    guys really the problem with the eror code in msn is all about the antivirus program in your pc ot laptop> my advice for you, just do the same what i did in my laptop. Shut down the antivirus program and then open the msn….And then again you can open your antivirus again!!!That eror code will be fixed forever….

    p.S. In allah we trust… Godd luck for everyone!!!

    IF YOU CAN’T LOGIN TO YOUR EMAIL OR MSN MESSENGER, HAVE OR HAD NORTON, AND NOTHING ELSE WORKS, TRY THIS.

    Uninstall MSN Messenger, and run this:

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039?Open&src=&docid=2001092114452606&nsf=nav.nsf&view=docid&dtype=&prod=&ver=&osv=&osv_lvl=

    Then let it restart your PC and download MSN Messenger. Try testing your email first; my email was fine right off the bat, but Messenger took a few minutes to come around.

    If this works for you…then do your fellow sufferers a favor and post the fix in a thread where you’ve seen this problem.

  111. 111 A.J

    I’m not so sure , but try this …. go to start … run …and type regsvr32 softpub.dll ….then restart msn … hope it’ll fix it
