Hi, I just tried to log into Windows Live Messenger today and got this error message "Signing in to Windows Live Messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. Error Code : 8100030d" How do I fix this as I know the service isn't down as my friends ar on it? Thanks.

You'll just have to wait unfortunately. It's not something that can be fixed by anything (other than changing the server that you're on, which isn't really worth the hassle of finding the software to do so).

Well o.k, thanks for the info. Do you know how long I'll have to wait? Thanks.

Have you run the Connection Troubleshooter?

No I haven't.

Try it: it may fix the problem.

I ran it and all the ticks were green but it still didn't work.

that error is related to the yahoo interop beta and zonealarm which seems to block the new protocol it uses, just opt out from the beta at http://ideas.live.com and you will be able to sign in

So I basically need to downgrade?

I downgraded to the 7.5 version but it still doesn't work. Now it logs me in for about 2 seconds then it automaticaly log's out and says it's lost the connection trying to reastablish. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hi,

I am having the same problem i keep getting the same error box come up sayin "signing into windows live messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. please try again later"

But i have had windows live messenger working before but it just randomly stopped so i went back to messenger 7.5 and now i have downloaded it again i am getting the same thing .

Is this the same matter just a have to wait because when i troubleshoot it, it finds no problems.

Nick.
