This is an issue relating to the Time Server Synchronization error.  Basically you start up windows live messenger and get the following error:

{rokbox title=|Messenger Error 80048820|}/images/screenshots/windows_live_error_80048820.png{/rokbox}

Basically you need to check that the time on your windows clock is accurate or close to real Internet time:

The Issue

People have reported that although they have manually set the date/time on their computer, this gets changed by the windows time server (time.windows.com) when connected to the Internet and for some reason it doesn't display the right date/time.


The Quick Fix

First off, check there aren't any Update for Windows 7 releases at Microsoft's Windows Update


Applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows XP
How?
 I keep having to do this every year as I reghost all my machines (=restore to sorta factory settings), so instead of googling it and going through other websites that work and don't; I thought I might as well post the way I do it:

  1. Open up windows explorer
  2. Go to Tools -> Folder Options
  3. Click on the File Types tab
  4. Scroll down and select (NONE) Folder as file type
  5. Click on Advanced
  6. Click on New...
  7. For the Action type what ever you want the context menu to display, I use Command prompt from here
  8. For the Application value type c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe (this will be different on winnt, browse if unsure to your cmd.exe program)
  9. Click on OK > OK > Close

Notes:
  • Added by default since Microsoft Windows 7

 Thought I'd put a note about this as I spent ages rewriting an entire system.  The HTTP_REFERER environment variable can be changed by the user anyway but I was using it as an additional validation check.

The only solution is to not use it for verification purposes as it will only work in every other browser except Internet Explorer (more specifically versions 6 and 7...???)

 This is in the case that you have only one optical drive which is a minimum of a CD Writer and you want to make a copy of a CD.

  4. Right-click on the CD drive and select OPEN
