| | Re: Windows messenger Greetings, This is a permissions problem, unfortunately it's difficult to say where the problem is just here on the newsgroup. As a possible workaround for the moment, you might try just making a new account in Windows (not Messenger, the Vista itself) and then either using logging into that account for Messenger or using your existing account, open an elevated command prompt (right click a command prompt icon, choose Run as administrator) type: runas /user:USERNAME "%programfiles%\windows live\messenger\msnmsgr.exe" and hit enter. If you want to try and deal with the problem directly, toss me an e-mail and I'll try to assist one-on-one. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Gyps" <Gyps@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7B8947C4-90AA-49BE-9294-C864591906E1@xxxxxx Quote: > Trying to figure out why keep getting error 80070005.
