    Error Code: 8004888d

    Have been sing windows live messenger for years with no problem. Suddenly
    it (almost) freezes when I try to log on and then wont let me sign in.
    "Signing in to windows Live Messenger failed becasue the dervice is
    temporarily unavailable. Please try again later - Error code: 8004888d"

    The service is available because I still have no problem signing in at any
    other computer.

    I saw some (old) "fixes" on google, all of which I tried and none work.
    Needless to mention, no help from Microsoft.

    Anyone any ideas ?

    Thanks,



    Garry

    I have found these posts about your problem. Because most solutions are the most obvious, so they are missed, I refer you in particular to the last response.
