oh I had that problem at the weekend ...but it just sorted itself out!! sorry not much help am I?
restart your pc, restart your modem. also check the date on your pc, if the date is wrong messenger won't work.
there should be a repair thing that comes up if it doesnt sign in, however sometime it doesnt seem to let me sign on either

I think it is just because microsoft cant cope with all that demand!
