Question Posted Sunday September 24 2006, 10:00 pm
I use Windows Live Messenger, but for the last 10 or so hours I have not been able to sign on. I have been getting error message 81000314 and it says I should wait 5 minutes and try to sign on again. I have tried this for hours and hours but have not had success. I was able to sign onto my friend's account, but not mine. And my friend to sign onto mine from his computer but got the same error.

There probably really isn't a 'true' way to fix this, and you will have to wait for the service to correct it themselves. There are, however, various ways to work around it, though I would advise you to be somewhat careful with all the solutions floating around.
This is prob the most common fix, it seems to have been passed from one forum to another. It also hit a lot of people a week or two ago, so I would expect to have this hit every so often. [ Erronius's advice column | Ask Erronius A Question ]
