Error Message Number 81000359, I cannot use My windows live messen

I was gone for a week, and when i came back, all of the sudden I cannot sign
into live messenger anymore. I do not want to use web messenger, I want to be
able to use MY messenger. I keep reading posts from other people, and they
are being told to change passwords, or reinstall, or install another version,
or use webmessenger, but they all say that none of those are working. Then on
some of the posts A microsoft person is saying to go Change your childs
account settings or some other such nonsense, and they are telling him they
dont have kids, only they use the Computer, and apparently the microsoft
people are not listening. I do not have kids, I am the sole user of my
computer. Its not a virus program, My computer was turned off for the whole
week I was gone, and plus I have numerous antivirus programs. Could someone
please tell me what has happened that all of the sudden changed my ability to
use msn Messenger? I would like to be able to use it again, thanks.
