    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.

  • Windows Live Messenger Build 14.0.8089.726 sign in

    I got a message when I tried to connect with an earlier version of messenger that for security questions, I would need to download the latest version and she refused to let me answer no (as I previously had problems with the latest version and did not want to go through this again). Well, of course, does it again and I'm guessing he won't let me not reinstall a previous version as indicated previously for "security issues". When I try to connect (it takes about three seconds or less) it comes up with this error message (not everytime, as usual it just expires in three seconds and I try again) "Windows Live Communications Platform.

    "Windows Live Communications Platform has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience. »
    Then it gives me the option to send an error report, which I always do.  Also, once the couple if I let him just sit there until I have send an error report it comes up with this: "we are unable to connect to Windows Live Messenger. Your contact list is not available at this time, please try again later. "More information (as a link) error code: 8e5e05ed" I have Windows XP, which is said by the way. If anyone can help, I would REALLY appreciate it.  Thank you.
     
    Edit: I'm sorry to put this under what looks like a Windows visited forum. I'll try to remove it as soon as I find Windows XP one.

    Additional information: I have been able to contact Microsoft about this and they sent a message with the following information:

    a. click Start, click run, type taskmgr in the run box and press ENTER or click OK. If you're running Vista, click Start, type taskmsgr in the box Search to Start , and then press ENTER.

    b. in the Windows Task Manager window, click the process tab.

    c. under Image name, locate Nsvcappflt.exe and click end process.

    d. click Yes to confirm.

    e. sign in to Windows Live Messenger.

    This solved my problem.  I had to keep end Tasking Nsvcappflt.exe until I found that I could uninstall it completely (a manager of network of Nvidia or something).  So I hope this will help you guys as well.
