hi everybody~
I searched through the forums and stuff but couldn't find anything taht was helpful for my problem.
However.. I have live messenger installed on my computer since its release and was very satisfied with it. But last week-end it suddenly went offline with no reason and since that I can't log-in with my old e-mail address anymore. So I looked into the helpcenter and tried everything to fix the problem. I even uninsatlled and then re-installed the messenger.. nothing. Strange is that I can log-in with my friends' e-mail addresses and with my web.de address but not with my hotmail-address.. can anyone help me please? ~~

thanks in advance. have a nice day =)

Try importing the attached reg file. This is reset the handshaking cache. If you tried to login during a WLM downtime it is possible that this cache has been corrupted.

Another option is to delete the Application Data located at:

code:

---

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\MSN Messenger

To attempt to fix, close down Messenger if it's running. Click Start > Run, and type:
%userprofile%\contacts
<enter>

If nothing appears in the folder, click the Tools > Options >Viewtab, click 'Show hidden files or folders' and click OK. Once youareable to see the folders, right-click the one that corresponds toyourPassport and choose Delete.

Next, click Start > Run, and type:
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts
<enter>
Remove the corresponding folder again in this folder.

Restart Messenger and try signing in again.
