windows live messenger trouble
well people I'm officially stumped, when I try logging into windows live it keeps giving me an error code : 8007007e
I dont know how to fix this, I've tried un-installing and installing again, and constantly restarting my PC, yet nothing works, anyone know how to help? |
I found this google'ing the error message
Quote:
download the stuff from Jonathan's post and scroll down on how to run the last two files if you have any problems running them. |
I still get the same Error Code =/
|
What else does the error message tell you? Because I can't find that error code on the support site :s
|
heres exactly what it says:
Signing into Windows Live messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. Error Code: 8007007e I've had this problem since yesterday morning =/ |
I've had that error before, I usually just had to restart the computer and unplugged and plugged myself back into the router
|
that didnt work for me either..
|
check your security settings firewall might be blocking it
|
Firewall isnt blocking it
|
did you troubleshoot? if you didnt do, its probuably the proxy or the ips
|
I troubleshooted, and tried repairing, still didnt work
|
what about right clicking the internet connection icon and selecting repair? unless that's the repairing you mentioned before
|
(edit) actually,i got an error code similar too this and i delted some programs to make space.wheter it works for you i dont know but its worth giving it a try

Like my last post suggested try deleting unwanted programs
|
Go to Start<Run..., then type "cmd" into the dialog box. Then enter "ipconfig /all", and look for the Lease Expires Value. Next type "ipconfig /release". Wait until the time the "lease" expires (this means you'll be w/o internet, unfortunately, if you don't have another computer), then boot it back up. You may have to go back into the Command Prompt and type "ipconfig /renew", though you shouldn't have to. If this doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.
|
wow....STILL doesnt work... this seriously sucks but thank you for those who are giving me some ideas to try out, even though they didnt work I really appreciate the help =)

If you need IM right now, you can try using Pidgin for the time being. Or you can uninstall Windows Live Messenger and use whatever version came with your OS. As for the error, I have no clue what might be causing it. It could be a hundred things. Try running a virus scan just to be safe. |
Or you could just use the Windows Live Web Messenger. Crazy idea, I know.

Try clearing your temporary windows live folder from the temp folder, it usually fixes most errors, I tend to do it every month..
Anyway, to do this: Close any instances of messenger that are currently open, then push the windows icon as well as R, it should open up Run, proceed and type "%temp%" (without the quotes) It should open a folder. Proceed and delete the folder labeled "MessengerCache". You can delete "Messenger Pics" and "messenger voice" if you wish, doesn't matter. Restart if you wish, that doesn't matter either. If you don't have the windows icon on your keyboard, go to start type run and do what I said above. Quick note: I'm on windows 7, so the folders could possibly be renamed differently on Vista or XP. If that's the case simply delete anything named "messenger" or "windows live" and it would be the same. |
the temp folder is still the temp folder on XP and Vista
