Hi just an update not sure if this will help with fixing the problem.
i have a spare laptop that i have just formated and got it online and downloaded a fresh install of live messenger onto the laptop.
when trying to sign in to live messenger on the laptop i still got an eorror 80072745 so i went over to my main pc and rebooted and now instead of the error 81000306 i,am getting the same error as the laptop which is 80072745
hope some one can help with this as being a disabled person and pretty much house bound i do rely on messenger to keep in touch with my friends...
thanks again...
