Same here, I'm having the same problem. I can't sign into my Windows Live account. I already waiting and trying again, still doesn't work. Kept telling me that my either my internet is not online, or the service is just down.
My windows live is checking messages and says there are messages but the window where I view the messages will not open how do I fix this?
