by Q under Software

0

Application: Windows Live Messenger
Error: 8e5e0158
Message: Signing in to Windows Live Messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable
Resolution: Delete Windows Live Contacts folder

How to:

  • Close Windows Live Messenger
  • Locate the folder:
    • Windows XP:  C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft
    • Windows Vista and Windows 7:  C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft
  • Locate and delete or rename Windows Live Contacts folder
  • Open Windows Live Messenger and Sign in, it may take longer due to rebuild of  Windows Live Contacts folder.

 

Note: to make sure that you got the right <user name> open Task Manager > Processes > see under User Name, this can be different from user name shown by Windows on welcome screen. Note that in Task Manager are also three system users (LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORK SERVICE and SYSTEM), none of them concerns you.
