Ok, not to often Messenger sometimes dies, and I get this Error for awhile.. meanwhile I can Sign In, but only using a different passport account that I was not using previously when I got booted off.

Can anyone explain whats up, I know it prob my account locked atm waiting to be timed out, but .. is there any way to speed up that process?

Take a look at these threads:
Windows live wont signe me in
error code: 81000314
Sign in error 81000314

Sorry, im too lazy to bring out the right solution.

Thanks for the reply ..  but there are a number of things which look like could be a problem, I know it was a server problem, contact list unavailable... etc, I was kind of wondering what causes that to happen, does Microsoft even know

i got the 81000314 error today too....

1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that
the time and date are set.

2. If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the
correct case (uppercase or lowercase).

3. Change your password @ http://memberservicesnet.passport.com/memberservice.srf to
something smaller (under 10-12 characters), then try signing in again.

4. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc. ), it's possible
that Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you
upgraded. You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall if this is the case.

5. If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger -- try restarting it and see if that helps the situation. You also might try uninstalling an installed firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a problem (even if it is disabled).

6. Clear your IE cache and cookies -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then click the Delete Files button, and when that's complete click the Delete Cookies button.

7. Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check for server certificate revocation" is unchecked. Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL
3.0' is checked, then click OK.

8. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
then click OK
and do the same for the following:
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll

9. If using MSN Messenger 7, click the Tools menu, then Options, then Connection category, click the Advanced Settings button, uncheck all the options, click OK twice and then try again.
