Sign in troubles make another appearance

That's right, the never ending sign in troubles are back again and telling us they are an unbeatable force, with problems that seem in their hundreds. Fanatic Live have reported this month's security updates for Windows have caused the problem, and much to everyone's annoyance gives no error:

Among all the posts for help in the newsgroups, Jimmymac posted (6th post down) explaining he fixed it by deleting messenger's registry settings. Jonathan Kay created a .reg file that will automatically delete the settings for you, remove_msgrsettings.reg.

Before running the .reg file, completely exit Windows Live Messenger by right clicking the buddy icon near the clock and clicking Exit. Once you have run the file and clicked Yes, try signing in again.


You will loose quite a few of your Messenger settings, but then again it is necessary if you cannot sign in. The file may also help if you want a clean up of Messenger.

Thank You very much for this post, i have been having trouble since Saturday past after installing some new updates. This registry file you had available for download, fixed my problem, and allowed me to sign back in to Windows Live Messeneger.

Again, thank you very much!

These is not working for me! The only way to sign in is to shut down ZoneAlarm Security Suite!
