Hi
For about 2-3 days I've been having problems loging in my messenger account. I tried on several computers, tried the web.messenger, and the windows messenger too and nothing worked. Its like my account is having problems. When i try to do it it says it failed because the service is temporarily unavailable and the error code is 81000314. But its strange because other people sign in in my same computer and their accounts do work.

Please I need your help cause I use this for work to communicate with the persons I work with.

Waiting for your answer ASAP.

Restart WLM and it should work.

Just make sure you remove the two lines from the host file in a day or so when the problem is fixed.

Learn more about hostfiles - http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/how_to_use_hosts.html.

Im also having the same problem, i cannot log on on my main account but can on another account on the same PC using the same WLM. Thanks Felu, but could you please explan in more detail how to use the "temporary fix". It would be very much apreciated. Thanks.

Go to Window Directory > Windows > system32 > drivers > etc . After that you'll find a hosts file without an extension. Open it in a next editor like notepad. Go to the last line and put the following lines -

code:

65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

Restart Messenger and you're done .

Moreover in about a day remove these so that your messenger won't cause problems when the server is up .

Do I just add it to what is already there?

Its a server side error. Many people on my contact list are offline for the past 1 hour. If the that didn't work then i can't say anything except to wait for the issue to be resolved. That may take some more hours. After all i'm neither Microsoft nor God .

CookieRevised, I did what u suggested too and it didnt work either. Guess Ill have to open a temporary user (account) to work while the problem fixes itself.

Thanks anyways all.

Like suleicaholguin, your fix doesn't solve my problem :/

I hope it'll quickly be fixed !
