Re: Windows Messenger Live Sign In problem



I am having trouble logging into Windows Live Messenger version 8.0. To
start off, when I begin typing in my e-mail address it takes a while for the
letters to appear. Then, once I hit the sign in botton it gives me this:
"Signing into Windows Live Messenger failed because the service is
temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. Error Code: 800401f3"
Please give me advice as to what I can do to get my Windows Live Messenger
working once again. Thanks a lot!! I really appreciate your help on this!!

P.S. I have tried writing the reg commands into the Command Prompt as well
as other things that have been suggested in forums, but with no luck. I even
uninstalled and installed Messenger, but this didn't help me out.

Greetings Alex,

To fix this problem, shut down Messenger entirely by right-clicking on its icon in the
notification area and choosing Exit, then download and run this .reg file:

Then try signing in again.

I'm trying to sign in into my Windows Live Messenger v8.0.0812, with my
account but without any luck. It doesn't show me any errors but can keep
signing in for hours and even days (icon is still moving and applicaiton
responding).

The Strange part is that I can log into WebMessenger, my Hotmail account
with the same user/pass and at least 2 other accounts on my Messenger.
But my account just won't work!

Tried to Rapair, Reinstall, Rename the folder "%appdata%\Microsoft\MSN
Messenger" but nothing helps.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
