| | Re: Error 80040154 - still having problems Greetings David, The error code means that it's trying to reference something that isn't there/registered, the XML library (v3 and v6) is just one of the possible (but common) products this could be happening. That said, does this appear when you start the application or when you try to sign in? -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "David Steven" <David Steven@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1CA0D3DE-53E1-4C1C-88CF-51408292CE0D@xxxxxx Quote: > Getting an 80040154 error code.

| | Re: Error 80040154 - still having problems Hi David, Gotcha. I've put together a little application which will re-register all registerable COM objects for Messenger. I've tested it a bit, but obviously I can't guarantee it will fix your particular problem. Before you get started, I'd suggest you create a System Restore point, just to be safe. In XP, you can do so by clicking Start, then All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and then System Restore. You can then download the tool here: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...gister-0.5.zip Just open up the zip, run the executable and choose Execute. The .NET Framework 2.0 is required for it to run, but since you have an up-to-date installation, you should already have it. If not, you can install it from the following link rather quickly: http://microsoft.com/downloads/detai...D-AAB15C5E04F5 After it's done registering, restart Messenger if it's running, and try signing in again. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "David Steven" <DavidSteven@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E813D89F-7991-48A1-996D-2371F2158E72@xxxxxx Quote: > I get a "we can't sign you into Live Messenger" dialogue box - "service is > temporarily unavailable." |
