I have just encountered this error code apparently for no reason. it also showed errorcode 8100030d
Windows Live Messenger was working fine earlier today on this computer and also on another computer at work

I do not have  msn messenger on this computer and I was not running windows messenger at the time
I do not use any firewall except the standard windows XP firewall
I am not behind a proxy server on a windows server
Windows messenger is not set to sign in automatically
Live messenger so not set to log in automatically
No other programs are set to open windows messenger or Windows live messenger


After I saw this errorcode I ran windows messenger and logged in correctly
I then signed out of windows messenger and tried to sign in on Live Messenger but still got the same error codes

I have also had another error very often on live messenger when it is running, where the hotmail email page does not open correctly when I try to read my emails. Instead the window attempts to open but disappears. All further attempts to open the email page fail but I can open it still directly through IE Explorer even after this has happened
The only way do deal with ths is to shut down and restart windows, after which live messenger runs properly.... till the next time. While you are shutting down windows you get a message that windows is having to close IExplorer even though it is not apparently running anywhere, even in the task window.

Live Messenger seems very buggy still. Is this fact or illusion?
