The problems concerning inability to obtain a sign-in screen is not unique to MSN Premium using Explorer. There are multiple posts on the MSN Community website concerning this problems as it relates to msn.com also ... Affected users are able to access msn.com using alternate browsers and then signing in ... When those affected try to access msn.com or msn premium via the icons on their desktops and try to sign in they will get a blank screen .. I wish someone at Microsoft would acknowledge the existence of this problem and provide an update .. Thank you ..

I just received a suggestion on the Microsoft Community website and it worked for me. I am now able to sign-in on both the IE and Butterfly icons.
I finally found help for this problem.
