MSN Messenger Errors 80040111 and 80040154

 

Fix 80040111 and 80040154 Error.

 

Cause: MSXML library may be corrupted and may have to be reinstalled

 

Troubleshooting steps:

 

Step 1. Re-register msxml3.dll

 

- Click on the Start menu, select Run and type the following:

Regsvr32 %windir%\system32\msxml3.dll

 

Hopefully, you will see a window popup that says: DllRegisterServer succeeded in C:\Windows\System32\msxml3.dll is succeeded.

 

Step 2. Restart your computer and sign into Messenger again

 

 

MSN contact list is full

 

When trying to add a new contact to your list MSN Messenger tells you that your contact list is full.

 

MSN Messenger currently has a limit of 150 contacts. If you have 150 contacts in your list there is simply no way to add more new contacts. This amount might be increased in the future. In march it was increased from 100 to 150.

If you have an amount of contacts that is below the maximum amount and yet, you are not able to add a new one, this is most likely a server side issue that may show up after adding and deleting contacts for some time. Usually, this problem fixes itself after some time.

When you really need over 150 contacts or are not able to add new contacts the only thing you can do for now is to create one or more extra MSN Messenger accounts. Using a so called "polygamy patch" or a client like Trillian you can be signed in with more then one account at the same time.

Messenger 8.1 Beta sign-in error 8004800E

 

MSN Messenger Sign-in error 8004800E solution:

 

   * Exit Messenger (right click on the icon in the system tray and select Exit)

   * Start Messenger again

   * Sign-in and it should be successful

 

 

"Sign me in automatically" checkbox is missing in MSN Messenger

 

The "Sign me in automatically" checkbox is missing and you have to retype your username and password each time to get online in MSN Messenger. This is probably caused by a security setting which does not permit storing passwords on your computer. If you have sufficient rights (you are an administrator) on your computer you can reset this setting by running this file.

 

 

 

"Here was a problem connecting you to MSN Messenger"; Error 81000370

 

This error is usually caused by the security parts in MSN Messenger not working correctly

 

Solution:

 

First, try the following: click start, then on run. Type: regsvr32 softpub.dll and press enter.

If MSN Messenger does not work yet after this, you can try closing Messenger then go to www.passport.net with Internet Explorer (also if you normally use another FireFox) then click on the sign in button, you may get a certificate dialog. Accept the certificate, now if you start MSN Messenger it should work.

 

If you did not get the certificate dialog and MSN Messenger still does not work, open the advanced settings dialog in Internet Explorer by clicking on the Tools - Internet options menu and then go to the advanced tab. Go down to the security section and make sure use SSL 2.0 and use SSL 3.0 are both checked.

If you are running Windows XP try the following steps;

 

Solution:

 

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 Dssenh.dll /s

Fix Sign-in Error 81000314

 

 

Open with Notepad: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

 

Add these 2 lines to the bottom:

 

65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com

65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

 

 

 

Save it and restart WLM

 

 

The following message could not be delivered to all recipients

 

This has been notified - do not panic, it is not just you. This problem has been happening for a few days to many people. Msn is aware (see their homepage) and are fixing the problem. Should be fixed within the week.

 

 

 

Use webmessenger until we figure out how to solve it.

 

http://webmessenger.msn.com or http://iloveim.com

 

Check also MSN Service status: http://status.messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx

 

 

Update: It seems the service is returning to normal. I would suggest signing out and back in again if you are still receiving the error. Apparently engineers investigated the problem and found a fix.

 

 

 

Msn Messenger Plus It's a Virus

 

 

Msn-9.0plus.exe -- It's A Virus!

 

Do not click on that link!

 

There's been a lot of virii floating around the MSN Messenger Network lately. Some of them include links that pop up saying things like;

 

Hej, did you download the new MSN yet?

lol check out MSN Plus...it ownz!

Automessage : Download MSN Plus:

lol, this is awsome...

Want more msn emotions?

MSN 8.0 Beta released....get it here

Hej, wanna update your Messenger

dude, this is awesome... a must see!

lol I just updated my Messenger and I must say IT ROCKS!

Check this out mate, it roxxx

 

Never click on these links when someone sends you one. The typical result is a virus infection. In the case of the links above the result is a W32/Antix-A infection

 

 

Slow Typing on Sign-in Screen?

 

Windows XP users

 

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

 

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 Rsaenh.dll /s

regsvr32 Mssip32.dll /s

regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll /s

regsvr32 Msxml3.dll /s

 

What these statements do is re-register the cryptographic files for Windows XP. Usually blown encryption is an effect caused by a virus or SpyWare infection.

How to Fix sign-in error 80004005 for Windows Live Messenger

 

If you are encountering this error when signing in, please install the latest version of Windows Live Messenger from http://get.live.com/messenger/overview

After installation, verify that you have the version 8.0.0812. If you are still experiencing the issue, pelase contact Messenger Support at http://support.live.com and choose Windows Live Messenger

 

Updated (16.11.2006):

 

"Signing in to .NET Messenger Service failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later 0x80004005"

 

CAUSE:

The Microsoft .NET Passport account is blocked by the .NET Messenger Service because the computer may be running a third-party (non-Microsoft) program that is not licensed by Microsoft. This is a violation of the MSN Messenger Terms of Use. This error was originally created by MSN Messenger maintanence procedures. They were probably interested in stopping people from using third party add-on's thay may have a detrimental affect on their service.

 

To fix the issue you have to request that your email address be unblocked from MSN Messenger. This is a one time deal and you can only be un-blocked from the messenger service once so make sure that you have removed any offending software add-on's before asking

 

You can either contact msn if you have a paying msn account 1-800-635-7019 or go to http://messenger.msn.com/Help/ContactUs.aspx for non paying customers and request that the account be unblocked.

I cannot sign into MSN messenger

 

WLM isn't getting connected?

 

 

There are few tips how to fix the problem:

 

ExplanationIssues which all boiled down to the same cause:- Attempting to login but all you get is eternally spinning buddies- Login works but you can't add contacts- Login works but you don't get any contacts- Error codes when signing in (for example 81000314)Cause of problems:

An outage in one of the data centers which prevented some people from updating or accessing their contacts.This has been fixed, but contacts added during this outage will unfortunatly be lost and need to be added again.

 

Some back end systems had trouble with the handshaking (technicial term to indicate the communication protocol between systems): Messenger was trying to send a request for the contact list and the response it was getting was't what was expected due to modifications on other back end systems.

 

To fix this you need to delete the cache of this handshake policy. Once this cache is deleted a new and fixed handshake can take place and the errors will be gone.FixDelete you handshaking policy cache:

 

Exit Messenger completely (this means right clicking the Messenger tray icon and choosing Exit).

 

Open your registry editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe) and navigate to: for Messenger 8.0: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger for Messenger 8.1: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsLive\CommunicationsClient

 

Once there, you must remove the following subkeys: for Messenger 8.0: Policies for Messenger 8.1: Shared

Close your registry editor and restart Messenger.Make sure you don't delete or modify anything else. Wrong alterations can cause serious problems for Windows.

 

For those who are not comfortable editing the registry, I've made a registry file which will do these alterations for you. Simply download the file, save it and run it:

MSN Content Plus

 

 

Remove MSN Content Plus Register Alert.

 

Your current time trial is expired. Please register or uninstall all products of MSN Content Plus.

 

To remove this message, you have to delete the following files;

 

msnlogs.exe and msnlogm.exe from the Windows folder.

 

The best way to do this is in safe mode and then use the MS-DOS prompt to delete them.

 

How to Start Up in Safe Mode

 

Restart your computer (click the Start button on taskbar, choose Shut Down, then select Restart).

 

When the screen appears black and the computer begins to start up, press the F8 key repeatedly (about once a second). A black screen with white text will appear and with start up options. Note: If the Microsoft Windows image with the Windows symbol appears, then you have passed the point to start up in safe mode. Repeat the steps to restart your computer and try again.

 

The default option is Start Windows Normally. To start up in safe mode, use the arrow keys on the keyboard and highlight Safe Mode, then press Enter. (Do not choose Safe Mode with Networking if you believe you have spyware or a virus.)

 

Depending on the version of Windows you are running, the system may ask you to select an operating system. Chose the operating system you wish to troubleshoot (most will have just one option, Windows XP Professional, for example). The system will continue the start up process.

 

If your computer is password protected, you will be required to log in. You must log in with an account that has administrator access.

 

A message box will appear and ask if you would like to proceed working in safe mode. Click Yes to continue.

 

To verify that you are in safe mode, look at the corners of the main desktop screen. The words Safe Mode should be in the corners of the desktop.

Windows Live Messenger Error 80048821

 

SYMPTOMS

Windows Live Messenger could not sign you in because the sign-in name you entered does not exist or your password is incorrect. Error code: 80048823

 

SOLUTION

Before you start. Did you enter correct Username and Password?

 

1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly. Double click the clock verify that the time and date are set.

 

2. If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the correct case (uppercase or lowercase).

 

3. Change your password at http://passport.com to something smaller (under 10-12 characters), then try signing in again.

 

4. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc.), it's possible that Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you upgraded. You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall if this is the case.

 

5. If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger. Try restarting it and see if that helps the situation. You also might try uninstalling an installed firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a problem (even if it is disabled).

regsvr32 softpub.dll

then click OK

and do the same for the following:

Windows Live Messenger Installation Error 1601, Error 1603 and Error 1635

 

SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade to Windows Installer version 2.0, the Windows Installer Service may not start, and you may receive the following error message:

The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.

 

CAUSE

This behavior can occur when either of the following conditions exist:

• In the DCOM permissions, the default authentication level is set to None, and the default Impersonation level is set to Anonymous.

• The system account does not have Full permissions on a folder or registry key that the Windows Installer is trying to access. This is NTFS-specific.

 

 

SOLUTION

Method 1: Unregister and re-register the Windows Installer

1. Click Start, click Run, type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER, and then click OK. Even if you do this correctly, it may look like nothing occurs.

2. Click Start, click Run, type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER, and then click OK. Even if you do this correctly, it may look like nothing occurs, or you may briefly see an hourglass. After you run this command, the operation is complete.

3. Try your Windows Installer-based application again.

Method 2: Verify the DCOM permissions

This method involves changing the DCOM default impersonation level to Identify, removing the Msisip.dll file, and then reinstalling SP 3 for Windows 2000.

 

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type dcomcnfg, and then click OK.

2. On the Default Properties tab:

a. In the Default Authentication Level list, click Connect.

b. In the Default Impersonation Level list, click Identify, and then click OK.

3. Click Start, click Run, type explorer /select, %windir%\system32\msisip.dll, and then click OK.

4. Rename the Msisip.dll file as Msisip.old.

5. Reinstall Windows 2000 Service Pack 3.

Method 3: Give Full Control permission to the SYSTEM account

1. Start Windows Explorer, right-click the computer's root hard drive, and then click Properties.

2. Click the Security tab, and then click Add.

3. In the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box, click the SYSTEM account, click Add, and then click OK.

4. Under Allow, click to select the Full Control check box, and then click OK.

5. Click the TEMP folder and then verify that the SYSTEM account has full control.

Back to the top Back to the top

Method 4: Verify the registry permissions

1. Click Start, click Run, then type Regedt32.

2. For each of the registry hives, follow these steps:

a. Select the hive.

b. For Windows XP, on the Edit menu, click Permissions.

 

For Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4, on the Security menu, click Permissions.

3. Verify that the SYSTEM account has been added and that it has Full control. If it does not, add the SYSTEM account with Full control.

Back to the top Back to the top

Method 5: Fix the broken security key for the MsiServer service

1. Start the computer by using Windows 2000.

2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit.exe, and then rename the following key to Old_Security:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSIServer\Security

3. Restart the computer (you must do this).

4. Run Instmsiw.exe for installer 2.0 again; this corrects the broken security key for the MSI service.

When you send, you get File Transfer Warning:

When you try to share file, you get an error message:

This file was blocked because this file type can't be shared.

 

Messenger does not allow you to send high virus risk files with an exe;.bat;.com;.cmd;.reg;.vbs;.inf;.msi;.htm;.htm extension. If you want to send any of these file types use WinRar before sending.
