When I type my email into the email address box....it takes a long time to show up....but when I type my password in the password box. It shows up instantly. Once It finally displays I click sign in.....then it shows that error above

I have googled this error and tried fixes....none worked. Restarted, checked Server Status and seems ok (but how would the server error affect the lag from typing my email to Windows Live Messenger displaying it?)

Windows Live Messenger 8.1.0066 (Beta)

I know this is buggy, but I barely had any crashes....(excluding on boot most of the time)...So I am sticking with it.

This only started this morning, woke up and I couldn't sign in.

Any ideas?

I have checked google for pages like

http://www.askmarvin.ca/forums/index.php?showtopic=5140

But then again that is for 7.5 (but it does show that person did have the slow typing problem)

This is one of those issues I can't solve.

Thanks,
SonicSam

That happened to me but it was because i installed an antivirus
specifically Pc-cillin 9 or somethin like that

I do not have a antivirus scanner enabled. Nor installed for that matter, firewall disabled...can't think of any other things to do.

System Restore?

How? I have the same issue, tried to reinstall WLM and MP!L a couple of times, and still...

SonicSam, someone on #msgplus has got the same problem, and reinstalling WLM didn't work.

Is that all you did to fix it?

Well, many ppl got same problem with MSN Messenger. There are few tips how to fix them.

Had the same problem, also closed down MSN Explorer, acted as though connection was lost. The problem started as soon as i tried to upgrade from Member Email. The easist way to resolve the issue for me personally was a sytem restore. Not a reformat. Fairly easy cause windows creats one every now and then.
              Still having trouble with messenger live stability though. Closes when it feels like.
           All the best.
                      Cos.

Ever get this error, you must go to  Windows Live ID an sign in there an click on Accept an that will sign you back into messenger
