Problem with Windows Live Messenger 8.0?

Up until two days ago, my messenger was fine but everytime I try to sign in now I get an error message, telling me it failed to initialise properly =/
Any ideas what might have caused this?
Is there any way to sort it?

Thanks :)

Have you got any other accounts to make sure it is not just your account? If they don’t work either, or you don’t have another, try uninstalling it then downloading it of the internet and installing it again.

You could go to MSN.support and ask a basic question without having to pay for it.

I’ve now deleted it (uninstalled it) from my system. I downloaded the setup for Windows Live Messenger 8.0 to re-install it but I got the same error message again. I tried it a further 4 times (deleting the previous download each time) but with the same result. Now WLM is wiped off my system completely, I’ve rebooted my comp and I’m about to try and download it again. I really hope it works *fingers crossed*

Thank you both for answering :)

Under the login there is an option that says “forgot email or password click here”. Press on that and they will send you a new password. There could be a lot of reasons why. Some people don’t realize their shift key is on for capitalization or the number lock is not on the keypad.
