To attempt to correct this, shut down Messenger entirely by right-clicking on its icon in the notification area and choosing Exit, then download and run this .reg file: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...lmpolicies.reg Then try signing in again. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.

I'm having the same problem. I put in the login, and password, and it starts
the login, and then just sits there with those little pawns spinning around. If I'm logged in on my other computer, it logs me off messenger there too. It started for my about October 15/16. Funny thing is I can't login using the signin that I usually use, but if I use anotherr one, it signs in fine, which to me tells me that my software is ok. I can also login to this account on another computer, just not this one. I tried uninstalling MSMessenger 8.0, deleting all the associated files, and even cleaning it out of the registry, rebooting, and then reinstalling, and it still fails. I came here as a last resort, and I see that there are many people having the same issue. COuld it be this problem is related to Microsoft, or some new security breach?

Hi Jonathan,
Your fix worked for me. Can you explain what the problem is in more technical terms. This problem seems to be affecting hundreds of people. Do the people at Msmessenger know about this problem??

Hi,
Yes they are fully aware of the problem. What happened was a few days ago the Messenger service put an erroneous Messenger policy into anyone who attempted to sign in during a specific time. The .reg simply removes the policies key in the registry and therefore allows you to sign-in again. Just so you're aware, there is no security breach, it was simply an accidental error on the Microsoft side.

Wow! That fixed my problem, and I've gone to great lengths to try to figure
out the problem. Do you work for Microsoft, or are you in a position to be able to let them know that 100's if not 1000's of people have been affected by this, and they should send out a patch to fix it. I'm not your novice user, I dug into the registry and everything, but I also know better than to just delete keys in the registry. Please, please let Microsoft know that they need to send a patch out for this. Your regular user will never figure this out, in fact most of the people I know, couldn't even figure out how to get into this newsgroup.

No I don't work for Microsoft but I work with them. This issue is well known internally already.
