Everytime I try to log in to msn messanger i get the message  "There was a problem connecting you to msn messanger, Click troubleshot for help with this problem" Then there is an error code of '0x810031d' Can anyone help, as troubleshot says my connection is fine. I have no firewalls or virus software running. Cany anyone help please.

There have been some downtimes recently. That may be the problem. If not, then search the forum using that error code.

Tried searching, but nothing came up. When installed the new beta version, there was a similar error code on start up......

Try using Msn Servers

Note: It only works with msn 6.x!

I tried changing to a few different servers, but still nothing.... Im using msn 6.2...

try the following: start > run > type: regsvr32 softpub.dll <enter>, then start > run > type: regsvr32 initpki.dll <enter>, and then start > run > type: regsvr32 mssip32.dll <enter>.

MSN Messenger Service Experiencing Outages

For the second time in two weeks, the MSN Messenger Service is experiencing worldwide sporadic problems.

Some users are still connected but many have been forced off the Messenger Service. MSN's status page which provides updates to customers about any service problems is currently experiencing "Server is too busy" errors and ASP errors.

On the 23rd of January the MSN Messenger Service was down for around 5 hours before service was restored.

An MSN Spokesperson confirmed the following last time "The MSN Messenger service experienced a hardware issue that resulted in a disruption of service for some customers this weekend. We identified the issue and worked to resolve it as quickly as possible. We apologize to any customers who were inconvenienced."

It's possible that this could be the issue again and we are awaiting Microsoft's response to this. Meanwhile a Neowin member, Dom, believes he knows the true reason as to why MSN Messenger is down..."I have official word of why MSN is down, one of the cleaners unplugged the plug to the 4 way which has the 2 MSN Messenger servers and the 2 routers on it so she could hoover the server room". You never know huh

Update: MSN Messenger seems to be stable for now, an MSN Sokesperson said "MSN has identified an isolated issue within our datacenter and are taking the appropriate steps to restore full operation to all of our customers".

You're probably visiting Mess.be expecting to read this: Yes, as of this moment it's down again. It could well be Microsoft addressing the security vulnerability mentioned in the post right below this one.

Please have patience while the Messenger ops team tries to fix the current issues so you can log into MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger and MSN Web Messenger again soon. Meanwhile, read our yesterday's cool exclusive on the upcoming new Messenger Plus! feature.
