WLM9 won't sign in, log and screens provided, please help!

WLM9 will not sign in for me ever since I upgraded from the latest version 8.
When I click sign in, I see the two little msn guys spinning round as normal
for just a few seconds then the screen goes back to the login screen, there
is no error message given. No matter how many times I try, this always
happens!

I have tried the following ways to fix the problem:

Uninstalling, including registry scan and then reinstalling from a new
download
Troubleshooting connection (which shows up all green ticks)
Checked router settings / port forwarding etc

Nothing seems to work. Can you please help? I've been off WLM for a couple
of weeks now, I'm having to use web based services - which are pretty good -
but just don't have the same funtionality that WLM does.

Here is a fresh log after one connection attempt

See some screenshots below if this helps, thanks in advance...

Are you using Vista Business 64? if so i have the same problem, end the process tree for process msnmsgr.exe *32. It crashed three times after restarting the application. Fourth time it worked lol.

It worked for me.

I get a similar problem. However my problem is a little more detailed. I can
sign into WLM9 on the XP Guest Account, but not from a normal XP user
account, whether it be admin or not. I am also using XP 32 bit. I have had to
revert back to WLM8 for the time being, where WLM9 works on all accounts.

When attempting to sign into WLM9 (not on the Guest Account) it seems to
send and receive stuff (because nothing is wrong with the connection) and
then for some unexpected reason it fails (no message or error is displayed).
It simply returns back to the sign on page.

I have tried creating new admin accounts, uninstalling and reinstalling
WLM9, fixing the registry and user profiles, but it still doesn't work. And
what is more annoying is that it works fine on my brothers computer (on the
same network). So the network cant be an issue.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone was able to rectify this problem.

Many Thanks

Craig
