I too have been getting this since this morning when I applied the Windows
Update files that showed up yesterday. Vista OS.

[Shawn]

Then why when I do Help->Service Status does it take me to a page that says
"All systems are stable and running."

[Michael W. at Remove nospam]

Hello Johnathan,
Your answer was both helpful and uninformative at the same time. Do you know
the following?

1) Who/what regions are effected?
2) What is causing the outage?
3) When will it be fixed?

Thanks for the clarifications...

You are asking why Microsoft lies?

They say vista is a revolutionary OS... lol that's the most preposterous lie
I have ever seen!

Hi,

This page is generally only updated if there is known maintenance or the service has been
down for a significant amount of time.

[Nemish]

Then where is the cure... Started giving this error to me also since today
morning...

Actually Windows Update installed some updates today morning.. is it bcoz of
that...?

[bigdave]

No Magic cure maybe, however, I had this problem today and installed Pidgin
for Windows, successfully logged in using that, then logged out and retried
with WLM hey presto WLM was working again

[Jonathan Kay [MVP]]

Hi,

There was an outage earlier that didn't last too long. The service just came back up --
logging into Pidgin didn't do it I'm afraid.

Greetings,

As I said, there is no cure, the service had an outage earlier today.

Should be fine now.

[bigdave]

Sorry Jonathan but I have to disagree.

This is not the first time that logging into and back out of Pidgin has
worked for me in this scenario and for your information, the service status
was reported as "all systems fully functional" during the supposed outage.

I can understand not wanting to admit to another vendors product could
potentially fix errors but i genuinely believe this is the case and will
await the next instance of this error and report back.

[Gaurav]

Is there another outage now?

I'm getting the same error again....

[pugs]

i havent been able to log in for the last 30 mins

[Hemi.Royde]

Sigh, i seem to be having this problem now also. Let me guess, another outage?

[FadedSpark]

Getting the same problem again (It WAS working last night... ) 81000314 :(

Inserting these 2 lines in the host file is a TEMPORARY and VERY HALF A**ED
FIX! DO NOT forget to remove them.

65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

[Joe Church]

I am getting this same error too, started after I installed some windows
updates recently. I cannot signin to windows live messenger anymore. Error
code: 81000314. I assumed it was a system wide issue, but now I'm convinced
its a problem with messenger itself.

[CeeJay]

Me too

I've 4 computers (different WLM IDs) that can't log on to WLM at one site
for the past 24 hours and at another site WLM wasn't available yesterday
afternoon but seems ok today.

CJ

[Doccie]

Same here... I haven't been able to log in all day. Is it possible that it
has something to do with corrupted files on our end?

[CeeJay]

Thanks, that works.

Interestingly, logging in with this in the hosts file, then removing the
entries (commented out for possible future use), rebooting the PC and logging
back in again seems to have solved the issue.

CJ

[Gaurav]

It started working for me after a few hours. didn't do any changes. I'm sure
there was a service outage. The MS service status link though kept showing -
All good

[NKG]

I had this error 81000314 with WLM on my XP user account with my .NET login,
so I tried another WLM .NET login - this worked OK, the I tried my .NET login
- and my .NET login did not work Error 81000314. I then logged in to the
computer as a different user account and now my ID worked, so I logged back
in as me and -- my ID did not work Error 81000314.

This meant probably a cache problem somewhere in documents and settings
under my XP account, looking at date and time filestamps I removed the file
in c:\Documents and Settings\default\Contacts\[wndows live
ID]\contactcoll.cache
and the folders in C:\Documents and Settings\default\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts

(you can backup if you prefer, however these are recreated by WLM

Now I can login to WLM on my XP account with no problems

[loberto]

I am having this problem now. I am in Argentina, so I was wondering if this
is a problem of my physical location or what?

I've been having this problems for wuite some weeks now.

Thanks!
