O.P. Very odd and disturbing error from WLM 9.0 Beta
When I try to sign into WLM 9.0 Beta on my main account I got an error message saying how the service is unavailable. However it works perfectly fine on a new account I made two minutes ago (using the same computer btw)

what the hell could be going on here?

That you are using a Beta you are not supposed to?

Just uninstall it, and install wlm 8.5, end of story :P

No but it works perfectly with my alternative account...Meh, oh well.
Update: I tried to run WLM 9.0 Beta on my other computer and it worked PERFECTLY too. I try to run WLM 9.0 Beta on THIS computer and it doesn't work...wtf?

Really odd that the new account does work on the computer the other one doesn't works, I would say maybe a problem with the internet but then again no because the other account works.

MSN sometimes can be really strange with its errors :S

Well I just found out that, this new account that I made doesn't even work properly. ALTHOUGH keep in mind that my other computer runs 9.0 perfectly fine (yes, the other computer is attached to the same router) So....W....T....F...?! :S

Try this, sometimes it works, close the WLM and then go this folder C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

and delete the file hosts.msn

WLM uses it, don't worry it will be created again by WLM, I noticed that the WLM troubleshooter tends to point errors on the hosts file and when I delete that file it does work again sometimes.

so you may well try it and see what happens.
