two problems:

Everytime I start explorer I get MSN Messanger error saying "it has
encountered unexpected problem and needs to quit", but IE does open
successfully.

More severe problem is that java applet associated with interacting buttons
at various websites does not work. E.g., when I am trying access my company
webmail and putting my email name and press "GO", it does not go thru and
indicated "DONE" without doing anything. So, I can not access the next
page/or move forward. Any advice.

Hi Pontke :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

This solution should work for most firewalls, provided the access is not
restricted by domain name, and access to regedit is possible.

Click on Start --> Run
Type in "regedit" and then click OK (without the " )

Navigate through the registry editor to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger

Select the "Server" key, Right click, and select "Modify"

Change the value data to:
gateway.messenger.hotmail.com:80

This will connect MSN on port 80, the http port, is working perfectly for me
behind a draconian ISP firewall.

or..........

Why can't I connect to .NET Messenger Service
