Ok, after much time wasted and so forth (And no help from windows live support whatsoever) I concluded that it was a memory issue. Some of my memory was faulty and needed replacing, you can use a program like “Memtest” to conclude this, my scan took about 24 hours and then i stopped it because i had 234 errors in memory, I removed two of my sticks of RAM and now I can sign in just fine. Just thought I should add this solution for anyone else out there.
I have IE7, I don’t use WMP and not sure about activesync but I am currently updating my windows… i stopped the updates after SP3, so that may be the issue. I havn’t been getting any other errors with this installation of Windows, no runtime errors or system reboots or BSOD or anything similar, all my drivers are up to date apart from my bios.. but i doubt that would make a difference. I have very little idea why it would be out of memory however.. having just been installed and having a high amount of RAM… and no proxy.
I have been in contact with WLM support staff and they told me to give them some logs and so forth and while searching through I noticed this message in my Event Viewer:
Faulting application wlcomm.exe, version 14.0.8050.1202, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5512, fault address 0x0001b1fa.
Which is interesting because ntdll.dll is used by a dozen programs not associated with windows without difficulty, I have downloaded a new version (which is actually version 5.1.2600.2180) Im going to try and replace it when I get my dos up and running, if not ill just revert it back to the old dll. But I really don’t know if it will help/work.
I got the virus after I reinstalled windows, and as far as I can tell I do not currently have any malware or virii on my computer.
Ok I did as was instructed, I used the cleaner, but i cleaned all Windows Live programs I could see… I then redownloaded the installer, but Microsoft Office Outlook Connector and Microsoft Office Live Add-In were still installed.. I then proceeded to install just WLM. I also cleaned temp internet files and deleted some applicable application data files. But it still seemed to remember who I was… which says to me that its still left some files… Anyway same error.
Upon reinstall of the app I decided to try again… following your directions and not being an idiot and misreading things… I went to delete only WLM and got a runtime error within the cleanup program, I then pressed ok, it quit… i reopened it.. and the program is no longer in the list. So I opened WLM at this stage and attempted to sign in, it did not remember me, which I thought was a good sign.. but same error. I also tried creating a new user but that didn’t work either.
Ok, I then reinstalled after removing JUST WLM with the cleaner (as I said it got a runtime error) and it remembered me, and still got the same error.
“Run-time error ‘-2147024882 (8007000e)’:
System Error &H80004005(-2147467259).”I would suggest reinstalling the app, restarting your computer, and hoping for the best, however I don’t really have any Idea what would be causing it. You could also try updating .net or windows, it sounds like its trying to do something it doesnt have the code to do.
Does this error occur when you use “Save As” as opposed to Accept? Do you do any other actions e.g. webcam as well? What is the exact Error Message? or is just “Windows Live Messanger has encountered an error and needs to quit.”?
The ports are apprently 1-65000 so I can’t exactly port forward all those.. and my brother uses the same router so I wouldn’t want to limit his connectivity. I did have a trojan for a short while on the second installation of windows… however I have run multiple scans with about 5 different malware/virus removers and im fairly confident I do not have any anymore.
I am able to use Skype and many other IM programs including earlier versions of MSN as stated in the post.
Aports (a port finding process) shows two ports used by WLM when logging in and these obviously will be dynamic choices by the program.
So you want it to open a convo to each of your friends? Then send a message to each of them? at a designated interval… hmm… I have absolutely no experience in how you would achieve that kind of interaction with WLM, but I have some experience in programming. Gimme a precise description of what you want and I’ll see if I can learn / program it 🙂
Not necissarily but it might increase your chances lol, you may want to try downloading a different program or, if you already have one, checking whether your cam is working outside of WLM. If it is a specific WLM problem then that probably limits what you could do, however if its something that is driver or conflicting software based then youll probably have more options.
If its a problem with WLM remembering your contacts, aka thinking its got all your contacts and doesn’t need to update from the server… perhaps it would be prudent to try deleting your contact details from your Application Data folder: %Boot Drive%:Documents and SettingsLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftWindows Live Contacts I am not sure if this would have any lasting ramifications however due to not knowing all that much about WLM so you may want to wait for someone more knowledgable to either shoot down my idea or approve it.. It’s just I would not have thought that simply deleting the rememberance of your e-mail would reset your account settings. Because even with that unticked if you insert your username it will revert your colourscheme to the one you chose based on your e-mail.
If the mailbox is unavailble that could mean a variety of things could it not? such as you just not being able to connect to it? so the server could be down? the e-mail could have been deleted or as you said the mailbox could be full, however I think the mailbox being full would probably return a different error, perhaps you should check the e-mail again with that person?
