Vista - 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.

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.

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 Have A Laptop And I don't use NetGear.

my Msn just isn't working and keeps coming up with the error code 80072745.
Do you have any clearer instructions please?


Thanks xx

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?
