When i try to sign in on Windows Live messenger on my Vista Premium it fails
to sign in and comes up with the troubleshooter. I run the troubleshooter
and there are supposedly no problems, everything is fine. It is allowed on
my firewall and i can sign into hotmail.com. Anyone help me??

the 8.1 version of windows live messenger is not yet supported by Windows
Vista :(
that's why you cant sign in. i have the same problem.
guess we just have to wait for a brand new updated version

For what it's worth, Live Messenger v. 8.1.0178.00 has been working fine in
Vista Ultimate 32bit for months here.
