When i try and sign-in to MSN, i get this error: 0x8100031a. I have looked at microsoft's web site, typed the error in, 0x8100031a, and got a page that told me "it is reseverd for future use", whatever that means. I think it means that i cant use my account for a bit. But, i can use Windows Messenger and connect. I can go one hotmails website and log in to read emails, but i cant use MSN Messenger.

I have tryed uninstalling, rebooting, installing, and everything in between! I am using latest MSN Messenger. I have tryed it with another account. Same result.

Any other sugestions??

try this:

   1.      Exit MSN Messenger completely.
   2.      Click Start, the Run, type regedit and click OK.
   3.      Navigate to:
MyComputer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
   4.      Click (don't double-click) the MSNMessenger key. It should simply highlight the name.
   5.      Go to the Edit menu and click Delete. Click Yes to confirm the operation.
   6.      Install MSN Messenger 6 and sign in!

ty  it worked
