Since yesterday, I am unable to access Windows Live Messenger. It gives me this message:
We can't sign you in to Windows Live Messenger.
Signing in to Windows Live Messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable.
Please try again later.
Error Code: 81000314.
Sorry for the late reply...
Yes I solved it.Here's what you'll have to do:
Start-Run-regedit-search the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{380689D0-AFAA-47E6-B80E-A33436FE314B} and delete it,and then reboot your pc and try to log on again,it should work.
Fantastic elf11, deleting that key did just the job. Cheers very much! That'd been annoying me for a while, previously I had to restart each time MSN acted up with the non-signing in, but deleting this key allows login no problem. Restarting MSN seems to be all that's required.
Anybody worried about deleting the key, you can make a backup of it by right clicking on the file and using 'Export' to save a copy of it to somewhere in your docs. Should the file be required again, opening the backup will restore the old key.
open task manager and go to Processes. From there, go to the bottom and scroll right (i'm avoiding typing file names) and look for all the Windows Live files. highlight and end process. I ended them all and restarted them and it worked. "live communications platform" I think was key. I just ended them all to ensure I was killing any hanging process. hope this helps someone.
I had the same problem and was trying to sort it out for hours ..
i t was so easy ,
all you have to do is :
1.control panel
2.date and time
3.make sure your date and time are correct .
I'm also having these problems, however I can sign in on normal 'windows messenger' and I can also sign in on another account and it doesn't seem to experience the same problem as my dominant account. Strange hey. E-mail me if anyone knows.
I had the same problem for a week, I tried everythng but nothing. till I decided to download all the windows update and all my notebook drivers from HP website and installed them on my computer, then all is working fine :)
I have had this problem twice now. Once earlier in the year. I followed ALL suggestions. NOTHING worked. I had to format the HDD and reload the original OS (Windows 7 upgraded to professional). Then went through the agony of Microsoft auto installing 200+ "updates", that took over 2 weeks to install properly BEFORE the computer would settle down and work right. Damn them!
Everything has worked fine for the past 6 months or so. Then today the problem occured again. But this time I went further. NOT only was I not able to launch Windows live messenger, I found I could not update Windows 7, NOR could I update Windows Security Essentials either. Each gave me similar messages. (Yet I had NO problem in launching Yahoo Messenger, etc).
It seemed to affect ONLY Microsoft programs.
After many hours of fruitless trials and errors and trying EVERY thing I could think of, my prayers were answered. I felt the notion to go into Control panel and see if there was ANY program that was insalled in the last several days. And Voila'. There was indeed a new program loaded into my PC that I had NOTHING to do with. It was installed on the 7th, the day before yesterday!
It is titled "Intel Matrix Storage Console". I uninstalled it and ALL worked instantly fine.
How this program got installed on my computer I have NOT a clue; because I am very leery and careful about ANY program being installed in my PC, because of past nightmares. In any case, removing it solved the problem.
Note: Running a scan using Windows Security Essential picked up NO problems. So they got a problem and don' know it. Oh well. It apparently has something to do with their incessant "security updates" I imagine; and would explain why it ONLY affects THEIR programs. DAMN them!
