Getting Error code 0x80048820 Sorry, we were unable to sign you in to Windows Live ID at this time. Please try again later

I let it but it didn't find any the first time. I dont think there ARE any updates post SP3. On the second PC I didn't let it go on the internet until after it had finished the complete install so it would never have got an update. It all seems fine. IE8 seems worth the update and I can collect my emails again. I still prefer FireFox and Chrome for the usual reason that if they hang they don't take down the entire OS like IE does, you can just close them from Task Manager. Third PC to do tomorrow.

This works. As soon as I made this change the computer wanted to add updates. I have not done those yet. Did you late the updates from Microsoft load? If so, did they cause any problems?

You didn't! There is a trailing space after .com☐. Right-click on the account name in the folder pane and select Properties. Amend the server name on the Servers tab.

TWO working now! One PC left to go. Still not sure as to what fixes it. Strongly suggest the IE settings of making it default. IE8 works with XP SP3. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Got mine from file hippo site.
