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:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...grsettings.reg

Then try signing in again.

Jonathan

I tried your reg fix and still have no success.
My problem is that I simply get stuck on the signing in screen with no error
messages...

It has always previously worked for me, and I did not do any changes!

What happens when I use your reg fix is that the first time I try to log on
afterwards, I get :signing in to Windows Messenger has failed because the
service is temporarily unavailable. please try again later. Error code
8004882c

If I retry, I get the no error message scenario again.
I tried following all the troubleshooting steps, deleting the contacts,
reregistering all those files, deleting the DLLs, I went into regedit and
manually deleted the policies. I uninstalled and reinstalled.

I do not use any firewall except winXP. My linksys router im pretty sure if
configured correctly. Like I said Ive been using messenger before with no
problems.

I can log into webmessenger, and when I try to log back on with windows
messenger live, it logs me out of webmessenger, but it never completes the
sign-in (with no error message)

please help if you can!!
thanks
mike
