Windows Live Messenger giving you an annoying “Signing in to Windows Live Messenger failed because the service is temporary unavailable. Error Code 8100030d” error message? Here’s the solution on how to fix it.
1. If you have AVG antivirus installed
– Open AVG
– In the Overview, Double-click “Web Shield”
– Towards the bottom, click the tab “Instant Messaging”
– Unclick “Instant Messaging protection”
– Restart WLM and login
2. If you have Zone Alarm, windows firewall or other firewall installed and enabled, make sure that they don’t block WLM to connect to the internet.
3. If the above 2 method still doesn’t help, then goto C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts and delete everything (folders, files, including hidden ones) in that folder. This method in particular has helped me solve the problem.
*UserName will be windows login username
4. If WLM still doesn’t login, the last resort will be
– Goto Start > Run > type cmd
– In command prompt, type regsvr32 softpub.dll and press enter. Do the same thing for regsvr32 wintrust.dll, regsvr32 initpki.dll and regsvr32 MSXML3.dll

Well after much playing and frustration I have finally gotten my MSN to work. None of the solutions above helped except for number 3 but after logging off and trying to log back in same problem again. Anyhow what finally fixed it for me was removing the show whats playing in MSN dll from winamp.

This probably sounds funny to me at first but I have also read that *some* people got out of this trouble by shutting down and restarting their router. See if that helps.

None of the above works. I’ve reregistered some msx file, downloaded it again, loads of stuff. Using WinXP SP3.
I’ve wasted so many hours of my like thanks to the incompetent Microsoft swine. I originally downloaded a slightly older version but it said I had to download latest version!! Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Dll says
It worked fine for me. Thanks a lot…

If anyone had my problem and they just can’t get MSN Live Messenger to work, despite all the suggestions, or they’d rather give it a miss, I found a pretty good free alternative that worked first time, and it’s open source. It’s called aMSN, available for free download at amsn-project.net/ .
It’s less bloated than MSN Live and is a much quicker and simpler installation, with optional downloadable plug-ins.
IanP says
I’ve discovered an inadequecy about aMSN that I recommended in my previous post. Unfortunately, at this time of posting it lacks connectivity with Yahoo, so unless you only deal with MSN contacts, forget it for now. As you read this, it may be worth checking the aMSN website to see if this feature has been added.
David says
If you want to connect to different networks at the same time, I would recommend digsby in a heartbeat

How about an updating? The newest version of AVG have’t got the alternative “web shield”, or “instant messaging”. *DOH*
Yeah, this helps alot…
