Error 8004882e Signing In to Messenger using Fingerprint Reader

I receive error number 8004882e when trying to sign in to Windows Live
Messenger 8.1 Beta using Microsoft Fingerprint Reader with the latest
DigitalPersona driver version 2.0 installed and running under Windows XP Pro
SP2.

Unfortunately I cannot locate an explanation for this error, let alone a
solution. The Fingerprint Reader works perfectly elsewhere (i.e. for Windows
logon and all other applications that I have tried). Has anyone had better
luck?

Thank you!
