Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

Have been sing windows live messenger for years with no problem. Suddenly
it (almost) freezes when I try to log on and then wont let me sign in.
"Signing in to windows Live Messenger failed becasue the dervice is
temporarily unavailable. Please try again later - Error code: 8004888d"

The service is available because I still have no problem signing in at any
other computer.

I saw some (old) "fixes" on google, all of which I tried and none work.
Needless to mention, no help from Microsoft.

Anyone any ideas ?

Thanks,

Garry

PS I completely uninstalled Windows live and all it's component programs
twice and did a clean re-install ... no difference. Still the same message.

Go to a DOS prompt and type in the following OR go to Start -> Run and then copy and
paste each line below hitting after each one.

regsvr32 Msxml3.dll /s

regsvr32 Dssenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Gpkcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Slbcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Sccbase.dll /s
regsvr32 Softpub.dll /s
regsvr32 Wintrust.dll /s
regsvr32 Initpki.dll /s
regsvr32 Rsaenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Mssip32.dll /s

Peter,

Yes, this is one of the fixes that I saw on the net ... did that, copied
each line in one by one and hit enter after each one .... it accepted all of
them, but no difference to the problem ... as if I had done nothing.

I can see from the net that this is a common problem, but the only evidence
I can see of anyone having solved it is with the process you outlined was
for a handful of XP users.

Any other ideas ?

Garry
