Hi Rscotty96,

1. What is the exact error message that you receive when you log in?
2. you remember to make changes to the computer?
3. from when are you facing this problem?
4. What are the troubleshooting steps you have taken in the registry?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the Messenger to check if it helps. See the article below mentioned the same thing.

Step 1:

Uninstall or change a program
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program

a. in the list of programs, select Windows Live Essentials and click Uninstall/change.
b. in the options, select uninstall and click on continue.
c. Windows Live Messenger and select uninstall.

To install it back, check out the following link.

  • Windows Live Messenger does not work!

    Hello

    I just got a new computer HP with vista on it a couple of weeks. I have tried everything to make windowd live messenger to work on my computer. I downloaded older versions as well as new ones. nothing works except web messenger. I am extremely frustrated because web messenger is never reliable stuff anyway.
    I was wondering if there is someone who can help me. Whenever I have download another version, the same problem occurs. I double click on the messenger icon and I get the blue circle and no window appears. It is in the sandbox of process and its there however many times, I decided to click on it in my frustration. The latest version of windows live messenger, NEVER opened, while the older would sometimes open if I got lucky. I'd appreciate any help anyone could give me.
    Thank you!

    Hello KT123,.

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    I have a few questions for you:

    Windows Live Messenger has already worked for you? If Yes, then you can do a system restore to when he worked for you.  Please follow the article below to perform a system restore when Windows Live Messenger was working.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/936212

    I found a possible solution for you from another forum.

    Use Regedit to remove the following key:

    • Click on the ORB start
    • To search, type Regedit.
    • If you receive a notification of user account control, click on continue.
    • Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\Policies.
    • If the key exists, delete the key.

    Once this key is deleted, try Windows Live Messenger and see if now it opens and works for you.

    If please post again and let us know if you need more assistance.

  • Windows Live Messenger does not work on my HP Touchsmart Windows 7 computer

    I can't get windows live messenger to work on my new computer windows 7 HP touchsmart.  I only use msn before that.  When troubleshooting it says to check my proxy settings in messenger options.  Well, there is no 'options' tab to select, then no idea even where to choose from.  I tried to go to "start," "programs" then windows live messenger, but it doesn't open the sign in page - no option at all, even if the right click.

    Very frustrating to say the least.  I can not even find where to go to the microsoft Web page to ask for help to fix this problem.

    I even turned off my firewall setting and that did not help.  When I checked my firewall, it says windows live Messenger had permission - so I don't think it's that.

    I am considering removing the Messenger program just as he ceases to appear to connect but it does not work!

  • my windows live messenger does not work. HELP__its been like this for months now!

    Hello so I tried to understand what is the problem with my msn, but I can't understand it!
    whenever I am trying to connect, he said: "we cannot connect to Windows Live Messenger, signing windows live messenger failed because the service is temporill unavailable, please try again later.
    the "error code" is: 8e5e05f6

    but the thing is if one of my friends try to to connect to my computer (using the same msn just for their account) it works! Help?

    and also when I try to look for it in my uninstall programs, my computer can not find what it... as there is no! but when I try to install a new msn from the internet it is said that I installed everything already! so please help! its driving me crazyyyyy!

    What WLM version do you use?  I think the latest version is Version 2009 (Build 14.0. 8009 7. 26)

    Windows Live Messenger will appear in programs and features in Windows Live Essentials, you click on it and follow the instructions in the wizard.

    If that's the problem with just your user login then that may need to be set at the end of the Server supported by WLM, or you can create a new Net Passport for yourself.

    I have error 8e5e05f6 of code for the new msn live messenger. Today's date is March 21, 2009. I need help! Anyone?

  • Windows live messenger does not work with Windows vista on the desktop but on laptop

    I tried to remove and then reloading the whole windows live package.  But windows vista is blocking windows live Messenger every time dang.  These are the claims that it is closed by the DEP program.  Why is it that if it is part of windows or a windows program? And why my computer laptop isn't a problem with it, but in my office?  And I tried to add windows live messenger in the list of DEP programs, as indicated by the stupid help window and he ALWAYS breaks it.  is - anyone has a SOLUTION? I really want to chat with my friends on my desktop and I can't do it directly from the website (which is annoying).  I even downloaded the new version of messenger with the same results of DEP crash.

  • One of my ID Windows Live ID does not work

    One of my ID Windows Live ID does not work, I can't reset the password (I get an error), I can not connect with her online (I get an error).

    When I get the Live ID to submit a case on the support of Live ID site I get an error.  To clarify, errors are associated with the Live ID and come from Microsoft, it is not my PC that produces errors.

    I tried calling and e-mailing for the support to unsuccessfully (was returned to the site, which generates an error when I enter this Live ID, which means that I have no way to submit this problem in the right group - Live ID team)... What can I do to fix this problem?

    Live messenger worked without any problems until about 3-4 days ago on my laptop.

  • My Windows Live Hotmail does not work. Nothing happens when I select an e-mail message to open it.

    My hotmail does not work. Nothing happens when I try to open a new one or to read the emails. Nothing happens when I try to open one on tabs on the left as the Envoy or undesirable. I know for a fact that this is not my computer because I tried it on my own computer, but also a computer at school. It is not my network because I tried at home (in PG County) and school (in Baltimore). It is not my safety, because obviously, the security of my computer and the computers of the University are different. This problem started all of a sudden. I hope I can fix this quickly because this is my professional email and if I end up not being able to read emails from prospective employers, I will be very angry.
