Hi, and welcome to the forums.

In order to solve your problem, we need more information:

  • What operating system (OS) are you using?
  • What version of Messenger are you using? By the looks of the error code it's a version of MSN Messenger, please specify exactly which version.
  • Any Messenger add-ons that you have installed
  • If you are using Messenger Plus! Live, which version?

If you need any assistance in finding the above, please ask.

To find out what OS you're using:
Press the Windows Key [Image: windows_logo98.png] + Pause.

Or right click on the 'My Computer' or 'Computer' folder and click 'Properties'.

To find out what add-ons you are using have a look in the 'My Programs' or 'Programs and Features' folder in the control panel.

An add-on is something that you install and it links its self to messenger. MP!L is an add-on. Can you remember adding any other programs that claim to make messenger better?

Since when have you had this problem?

Can you think of anything that may have caused it?

If you've installed add-ons such as SweetIM or SmileyCentral, these could cause problems.



Try reinstalling Windows Live Messenger.

1. Go to Control Panel > Uninstall Programs > Right click Windows Live Essentials and click Uninstall/Change > Follow the instructions to remove Messenger.

2. (Optional) Restart computer.

3. Download and install Windows Live Messenger again.

Hi,

I'm getting the same error when I try to log on to messenger.

It says that my contact list is currently not availble and that I should try again later. It has been going on some time.

It has nothing to do with the PC itself since I have tried it on several different PCs. Likewise I cannot log on via an online messenger like www.meebo.com which I have done before without problems. It's like my account is simply messed up :(

I hope that someone can give me a hint as to what to do ???

Thanks!
