I finally found a forum that might be able to help! I reinstalled Windows 7 yesterday after numerous error messages in my computer. Most of my computer is running well now, except I still cannot sign in to MSN Live Messenger.
I have tried to uninstall windows live many times but have been unsuccessful.

Do you guys know of a work around to fix this issue?
Desperatelly yours,

Ed

If you are receiving the error 80040111 or 80040154 when you sign into Messenger, please try the following:

Reregister msxml3.dll. To do so follow the steps below that are applicable to your operating system version:

Windows Vista/Windows 7:
 
Click "Start," click "All Programs," click "Accessories," and then right-click "Command Prompt."

Click "Run as administrator."

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password or click "Continue."

Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
   REGSVR32 %windir%\system32\msxml3.dll
 
If the file can be located and is available, you receive the following message:
   DllRegisterServer succeeded in C:\Windows\System32\msxml3.dll is succeeded.
 
If this step is not successful, go to step 2.
If this step succeeds, go to step 3.

Link is now fixed, sorry.

Ok thanks! I'll give it a try...

Thanks again!

I did everything that was suggested... and then some...
I found these things out:
Internet Options>Connections> Choose Settings if you need to configure a proxy server for a conection is greyed out (unable to enter new info)

then when setting internet connection in same tab..."Connect to the internet" Connection failed with error 651

this is driving me nuts!

HI Krissy-afc... Hey thanks so much for helping... Perhaps we should combine this thread with http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=68...d=987927#pid987927

the reason being is that I was finally able to uninstall mmicrosoft windows live messenger and reinstall it! woo hoo! BUT.. the error is still comming up when i try to log in...

Am I hacked? I opened a windows live email account and still that log in info did not work...

It is solved! error #80040154


I talked with Microsoft Technical support for 2 hours, and the technician was able to uninstall all of windows live and reinstall all of the options

again. NO MORE ERROR MESSAGE! WOO HOO!
