    If u cant log in or get those errors try downgrading to an older version .. but not a beta version

  2. SRS says:

    One solution I found was if you\’re using Kaspersky, it finds a file called cthelper.exe in windows directory, and blocks its functionality by putting it into detected threats because it see\’s it as a risk and a invader file. Once this file is released and put into the trusted zone, suddenly you can connect to messenger again.

    I am wondering if anybody can help me correcting this problem. BTW, I am using a school network computer and I have an internet user ID and password. I used them with the messenger.
     
    I really appreciate any help.

  53. colin says:

    hi, i have had the problem where windows live messenger will not log me in  as it keeps coming up with the message saying that windows was unable to sign me
    in at this time. please try again later. also, its saying that my firewall maybe blocking messenger from
    connecting. i tried signing in again with the firewall off, still did not work, and so i contacted the technical support team with my problem and soon enough they replied giving me instructions which i followed, and getting relieved that the problem will finally be fixed, until i entered my usernme and password into WLM and then the same message came up, so i dont know what to do, all i know is i hope they fix this quickly.

  54. josh says:

    i have a temporary solution, just uninstall windows live messenger and use msn 7.5 untill they pull their fingers out and fix the problem, im hosting the installer, if you guys (microsoft/msn) wouldnt like me to do so just send me an e-mail at afenda@bigpond.net.au and ill gladly take it down… it will only be on here for a short while as a temporary fix.
