Error signing into MSN Messenger

I installed the latest messenger 7.5 version and had trouble signing in since.  I did a quick google search and found this article Messenger help

ended up, I had more Passport devopment scraps from the last project.  I had to delete my Passport Identity Client Run-time Library (IDCRL) dll, which probably was pointing at Passport INT, (the Passport MS internal sign-in server).  I am guessing the latest Messenger had finally upgraded to use IDCRL sign in instead of their custom gateway protocol that they had in the previous versions 

everything worked fine after I cleared out the contents from my

%appdata%\microsoft\identitycrl\*.*
%allusersprofile%\application data\microsoft\identitycrl\*.*

 

+1 for Passport

Make sure you have the latest version you are trying to install. This error was an error with an early version of MSN Live Messenger.

If you go to the link above and install that version you should be good to go.

# re: Error signing into MSN Messenger - 8004888d

The problem is very likely related with browser security options. Check if you can access any htpps pages. If you can not access any secure (https) pages, you can not get autheticated by MSN.

Correct the security problem by comparing any other PC which can access https pages. Then it should work OK.

# re: Error signing into MSN Messenger

all you have to do is enter the prompts. click start, then run. enter the codes, which can be provided here msn-errors.blogspot.com/2007/02/fix-8004888d-error.html. and msn should be back to normal.

good luck.

# re: Error signing into MSN Messenger

ok ill just write everything down step by step.
To reregister each file in the following list, click Start, click Run, type the command, and then click OK.

REGSVR32 softpub.dll
REGSVR32 wintrust.dll
REGSVR32 initpki.dll --------Please note, when I typed this one in I did not recieve confirmation like all the others just the hour glass but it still works
REGSVR32 Rsaenh.dll
REGSVR32 Mssip32.dll
REGSVR32 Cryptdlg.dll
REGSVR32 Dssenh.dll
REGSVR32 Gpkcsp.dll
REGSVR32 Slbcsp.dll
REGSVR32 Sccbase.dll



2. After each command runs successfully, you will receive a "DllRegisterServer succeeded" message.
Wait until you receive this message before you run the next command

3. Restart the computer.



4. Try to sign in to Windows Live Messenger

if not try this:
Go to Start Menu-Run

Type in: regedit

Say OK

Plus sign of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Plus sign Software

Plus sign Policies

Plus sign Microsoft

Plus sign System Certificates

Plus sign of Trusted Publisher

You will see a "safer key folder"

Delete that folder

Reboot

Try to re-login to Windows Messenger.



Hope this helps, nisha ;)
