Messenger Support

Problem description: I’ve been unable to login for the past couple days on either of my accounts on Messenger.

Error code/error message: I always get an error either that my password is incorrect, when it is correct (error: 80048821), or that my contact list is unavailable (error: 81000378)

What has been tried so far: I’ve tried all different versions and reinstalling multiple times. I’ve also tried disabling my firewall.

Messenger version: Currently 8.1.0178.00 but this happens on all versions.

Windows version: Windows XP SP3

Hi, thank you 7.5 seems to work fine. 8.1 and 8.5 were working fine a few days ago and I remember using them on XP years ago. Do you know why they don’t work now?

Actually some time it’s working, IE8 doesn’t support correctly yet, try enable TLS 1.0 on it, but for my modified Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 (based of XP SP3) can support TLS 1.1 and 1.2. I tried but still not working, only MSN (Windows Messenger) 5 works for now.

well, 666…

Ok so for a 2006/2007 messaging client you need a 2010/2011 browser… hmm…

15

don’t ask me the why, i just know that you used to need IE 9 to make WLM 8.X to work :stuck_out_tongue:

16

I’ve heard @anon74637124 saying that WLM 8.5 worked on XP if you had the POSready updates.

17

that’s why i said you used to need IE 9 to make it work :stuck_out_tongue:

18

Yes and with PROXHTTPSProxy(i cant share it because its bit allowed as the creator said)

19

OK so i’ve installed some updates and i got this error. I’ve used the POSready trick on this VM.
