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

I have the same problem too. I tried all ways, upgraded msn messenger 7.0 to
current Msn messenger 8.0. Uninstall, re-install. Tried logging in from
various PCs. I can't login using webmessenger either. The odd thing is I'm
able to with other msn messenger accounts, but not this account ! Its
frustrating! Please advise..

Same issue here...same error codes...can't sign on...tried Johnathan's
download...no change...run the self help test...it checks off all systems
good yet shows "no connection" at top of test page under "connections". My
login screen DID change colours, back to original default after your reg
download.

I can confim the same bug on my messenger with "this" account im using here.
I cannot login (tried from 2 computers), i simply get either "the service is
currently not availiable", or errno "81000306".

I also try logging in with Gaim and it crashes! when it recices the cookie,
so it`s a bit frustrating.

Other persons have also confirmed this "bug" in Norway.

A mail is dispatched to MS Support but i guess it can take time to get
response.

Hi! I can't open my window mensssenger to get my e-mails. Thanks Mary

Same problem here.

The built-in Windows messenger of WinXP connects OK.
Windows live messenger 8.0.0812.00 gets stuck.
Turning off firewall and antivirus does not help.

The problem started several days ago.

This seems to have helped:
http://groups.google.ca/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger/msg...3c55106

I have the same problem. Started playign up 2 days ago, then yesterday won't
sign-in at all. Have tried all the fixes suggested here so far. I can logon
to webmessenger.
My troubleshoot tells me the hosts file is the trouble, but clicking repair
does not help the problem. It just keeps saying the hosts file is the issue.

Any suggestions please?
