Vista - can't sign into windows live messenger beta

hi, everybody. I can't sign into WLM beta, I get error code 8000ffff, saying the service is temporarily unavalaible. I've tried uninstalling it, downloading another WLM version, but nothing works. I'm desperate. Does anyone have any idea of what's going on? please help!

Greetings,

This error means that a component Messenger is looking for can't be loaded. In the case of
this 2009 beta release, this typically means the Live Contacts infrastructure which is
necessary for it to work and is a separate component. If you did a manual install (aka not
the Live Suite installer), it means you missed installing this. You can always go ahead and
install it now. The downloads and full list of what you need per component in the beta
releases can be found on my blog here:

However since you're not even using the version anymore, which "other version" are you
referring to? The other released versions of Messenger do not have this multiple component
model and shouldn't be displaying this error. As such I expect you're seeing something else
on this other version. If you could be more specific as to what's happening, that would be
great.
