Vista - updates? cause log in errors

10-15-2009

I am at home on a HP Notebook using Vista and connecting wireless through a
Netgear router.
2 things have changed in the last 2 days. I added a Playstation 3 and a
XBox360 to the network and I got a lot of updates yesterday, my Windows Live
Messenger was working fine, (I use it several hours a day to work with a
colleague) after the updates, I can't sign in. I got error 81000378 (your
contact list contact list is unavailable). I did a little research and
tracked down connection problems and it was suggested I register the
appropriate DLL files. I wound up with these error messages:
the first one was after using the command prompt for regsvr32 wintrust.dll
the error was 0x80070005
the next one was regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll and the error was 0x8004005
and finally regsvr32 inipki.dll the error is "specified modules cant be
found"

I searched the errors on Google but I really don't understand what to do.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Glenda

Can't help you. But can tell that I heard it rather a lot: since the MS
updates from a few days back, lots of Messenger error.
I myself had an update done for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (update KB973924)
and after that Windows Live Messenger gave an Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
error and wouldn't start. Removed the update and everything was fine again.

Hi Menno,
Thanks for the information. I looked through my list of installed updates
and could not find that KB number. I will try uninstalling Messenger and
installing it again and see if that helps. I tried signing in with another
ID that had just worked on another pc and it wouldn’t sign in for that id
either. I am convinced it is a recently changed connection issue caused by
an update so I don’t know if installing again will work. I will update the
post.
Thanks,
Glenda

I was going to uninstall but I clicked on repair to give it a chance and lo
and behold it worked!
As soon as I rebooted Messenger signed in with no problems!
