I had the same problem, but there is a solution and it is simple.
When I tried to log in with the new Live messenger 9.0 beta, I get the
error 80070057 and could not connect.
After searching the internet, could not find a solution, so I looked at
the system logfiles and found a few errors.
event id: 215
wlcomm (3552) C:\Documents and Settings\%Username\\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live
Contacts\{5cfe6312-a70b-4456-a91f-088d46bb5268}\: Het maken van de back-up is
gestopt, omdat deze door de client is gestopt of omdat de verbinding met de
client is mislukt.

I opened the path in Explorer
C:\Documents and Settings\%Username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts
And deleted allmost all the maps but not the % map.
Then I restarted the Live messenger 9.0 beta and it worked again.
