Hi All

I went to this website...

http://msn-errors.blogspot.com/2006/11/i-cannot-s...msn-messenger.html

And fixed the problem, please read on...

    ************************************************

I had two problems on my daughters PC today.

1) Unable to sign into Windows Live Messenger due to error code 8004888d.

2) Windows Automatic Updates could not access website to do new update downloads. My daugters PC is running Windows XP Service pack 2.

RESOLUTION -

Go to a DOS prompt and type in the following OR go to Start -> Run and then copy and paste each line below hitting after each one.

regsvr32 Msxml3.dll /s

regsvr32 Dssenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Gpkcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Slbcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Sccbase.dll /s
regsvr32 Softpub.dll /s
regsvr32 Wintrust.dll /s
regsvr32 Initpki.dll /s
regsvr32 Rsaenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Mssip32.dll /s
regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll /s


Afterwards I rebooted the PC. I knew the PC was fixed because Live Messenger automatically kicked in first time around. Plus, Windows Automatic Updates is now also working...

My daughter is now very happy, and back able to chat to her friends.

it doesnt work still aq

wow it worked...thanks!!!

Just though I'd say that I had the same error - 8004888d, when I typed in the username it would take a while to show up and wouldn't sign in at all. Reinstalling and System Restore and loads of other things I tried didn't help, however Happy dad's solution worked and fixed it right up! Just saying in case someones having the same kind of problem . Thanks a lot!
