Hello all,
I do not know if I am posting this in the right forum, and if I
am not, I apologise beforehand. Now my problem is that windows live
messenger hangs whenever I start it up. It has been happening for
the past 3 days.
Whenever I start up windows live messenger, within a few
seconds, or when I open a chat channel, the programs hangs itself.
After I terminate it and restart the program, it gives me the error
code 80071392, with the messenge "we can't sign you in to windows
live messenger as the service is temporarily unavailable."
I have already tried restarting my computer, repairing the
program and flushing the DNS cache, but to no avail as the problem
still persists. I have also tried to reinstall the program, but it
only gave me the option to reinstall windows photo gallery and
mail. I have also attempted to look for it to delete it through add
or remove programs, but the closest thing I could find was windows
live essentials, which only consisted of the two I stated above. I
have already looked up the error code in MSN, but they did not have
any help for that.
I run on Windows XP home edition, and the latest update I
installed for windows live messenger was messenger plus!, but that
was a month ago. This problem has never occured to me before, and
as such I am clueless as to what to do next. Please advice.
Thanks for reading,
