Or sometimes it's a server problem on Microsoft's side and you just have to wait it out for a while.

 

Thanks for trying to help elbiatcho1 but been there, tryed that, got the teeshirt.Anything else you can think of?

 

Re: live messenger halo

tryed the cmd suggested comes up with answer set global command failed on IPv4 The requested operation requires elevation.both computers using same router

 

The computer with the problem came with mcafee but I have removed all traces of that I can find including refrences in the redgister.using latest msn 8.5.routers netgear but the laptop that works is on the same router so I should'nt think it's that.The one differance is that the laptop came loaded with vista home edition the desktops got vista business edition.Really tempted to try and formatt reload with xp but you know what it's like to be beat by a stupid computer.

 

Thanks plodr useful download but still no joy loads of people with this error 81000306. Come on microsh-t pull ur finger out

 

Thanks guys particularly halo your fix worked I had to disable or enable uac can't remember which.Should I now reverse that cheers
