    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

    Concerning "error 8007007e" I found a solution to that problem. All you need to do is go to your main folder e.g. C:/Program Files/Windows Live folder and search file named "wlarp" (it is located in Windows Live/Installer folder). Start up that program and choose REPAIR option and wait till repairing progress is done and that's it. Restart computer after repairing and enjoy!

    (It worked for me!) ;)

    P.S. I got that error code after virus got into Messenger,I unistalled it but inaproprietly. After that I installed the new version and right after completed installation I started repair procedure(via wlarp program). I hope this intel will help you. :D

    and there is also this page: https://www.microsoft.com/communiti...14-acb9-616fada4200f&cat=&lang=&cr=&sloc=&p=1

    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.
     
    heres exactly what it says:

    Signing into Windows Live messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

    what about right clicking the internet connection icon and selecting repair? unless that's the repairing you mentioned before

    thats what i was talking about, and I looked from google but nothing works
     
    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 =)

    Don't do that, it'll screw up your installation.

    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.
