Live Messenger Signon getting 8000FFFF

I experienced a similar account. It's not coming up the troubleshoot though,
mine is saying that my messenger is temporarily unavailable and has been
sayin that since last night. I don't know how to fix this. DOES anyone?

I had the problem where the official installer gave the 80070003 error code
at the 80% mark and refused to install msn.

So I followed the instructions here
http://messengergeek.spaces.live.com...DA1!3406.entry and
was happy to see it seemed to be installed!

However, now I get the 8000ffff error... it doesn't even seem to try to log
in - a split second is all it takes to give the error. There is no
'troubleshoot' or 'repair' function like in the old version.

I have tried to reinstall the contacts but it gives the same problem.

System restore isn't an option for me.

I have tried to reinstall it with the same problem.

I'm on XP Pro SP2 build 2600.
