I can't sign into windows live messenger, I get the message that windows live messnger is unavailable currently try again later and also I get the error code 80048820, can someone help me solve this problem.

Hello jabeena, welcome.

This section would apply in fact to the Windows Live programs, but we'll see what we can do to help out you.

I recommend to try this first:

1. disable any antivirus software or security, you have running on your computer. Looking for software to disable that contains a firewall.

2. click on START
3. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
4 type the following and press enter

Regsvr32 softpub.dll wintrust.dll initpki.dll

5. then type the following command and press enter

netsh winsock reset

6. restart your computer and see what happens.

Thank you! Ryan Thieman
