    RE: How to fix Windows Live Messenger error code 80072745

    The most simple thing I found out worked was the following:
    Exit messenger (done completely, as in from bottom right), then launch the
    program again.

    For the MS troubleshooters and patchmakers: This seems to come after a
    reboot, or after coming back from hibernation (rarely on reboot, nearly
    always from hibernation).
    However the repair-connection utility finds no errors and will give no
    resolve, when pushing "repair".

    Hope it helps and that a resolve will be found quickly

    Regards

    Greetings,

    What's amusing is how often said procedure fixes voice/video problems too. Although it's
    usually due to Messenger doing some clean-up its ports and re-establishing them.

    The "Repair" button to the best of my knowledge only repairs one thing (sorry, off hand I
    can't remember what it is) -- it's generally just a retry button really.

    SOLUTION: How to fix Windows Live Messenger error code 80072745

    In the end I found that it's a compatibility problem with certain anti-virus
    software and certain routers.

    The way to solve this, without playing around with routers settings, is to
    UNINSTALL the anti-virus software completely (switching the AV off will not
    work), reboot without any anti-virus software, and see if your Live MSN
    Messenger work. You should find that it logs in without any problem. If that
    is the case, use another anti-virus software.

    I have tried every suggestion from this site and none of them have helped,
    ive even done a system restore and reinstalled msn to see if it helps but
    have had no luck!

    Please help, in the simples terms possible, step by step

    hi,

    to connect to your router, it is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.0.

    to fix this, i went into: FIREWALL RULES, then enabled 'close IM ports'
    pressed apply, then re enabled 'open IM ports' then pressed apply.

    or you can try restarting your router. (i'm using a netgear DG834N)

    Instant Messaging (IM) Ports
    Close IM Ports (x)
    Open IM Ports(IM ports are open by default) (x)

    I've had this error message come up too. Something about host files? The only
    way i can get on is Remove all programes about windows, and download it
    again, and even then my messages wont send to people?
