Hello Tristan,

My name is Steven; I work for the Windows LIVE Messenger Global Escalation Group.

I understand you are having an issue with connecting to the Beta client, error 81000451.

We have found that this issue is caused after a group is made and deleted/removed in the beta client.

We are currently investigating the issue and we expect to have more information shortly. You can still using the older clients and the WebIM client if you would like to stay in touch with your contacts for the time being.

Thank you for contacting the Windows LIVE Messenger support group.

Steven

Hi i'm Christopher

and i've just joined.

The thing that is funny about messenger beta is that I have a virtual machine running the same OS (Windows XP Pro SP2) I can log into my main account on my virtual machine but not on my main machine

What on earth is going on!!??

by the way i've tried logging out of MSN on my virtual machine but it still doesn't work

Please somebody help me!!!

this happens to me on all machines running WLM beta. its been while now...and i am losing hope for WLM team. i havent even found a official post from them saying that they are working on it.

First post! I just joined! Messenger Plus is awesome.

Anyways, it seems Microsoft Knowledge Base has posted up a "solution".

It didn't help me out, but perhaps it'll be a more successful fix for you out there...

hey welcome and thanks for the link...but right when i read it i knew it wouldn't work, because this issue is not local its on every machine that i try to log in. so is no just my computer its the service it self that wont let me in.

Some are saying delete all of your contacts but how am I supposed to do that if i can't even log in?

its been over 2 months into the beta and still no solution to this..is sad that not even official WLM blog said anything about it..

No kidding, I got that error but with me it did worked with deleting the contact cache but now all the offline contacts instead of their msn names they show their e-mails.

on the web messenger the offline contacts do appear with their msn names and even on WLM 8.5 except for a few ones

I really hope microsoft can fix this issue

dear everyone, i had this problem too, but i fixed it by deleting all the application data for msn and windows live, there around 4 folders for msn and WLM that contain data, i deleted all of them AFTER uninstalling all versions of msn, then i re-installed the new beta, and then it worked!!
the folders are found in C:/Documents and Setting/YOUR USERNAME/Application Data/
and also
C:/Documents and Setting/YOUR USERNAME/Local Settings/Application Data/
some are in the Microsoft folder, and i think one isnt, just look around and anythig names msn or WLM delete!
i hope this helps your problems,
