    Msn error code 84cc0020

    Hello,
    I am currently in version 2009 of Windows Live Messenger and since yesterday, I have a problem.
    When I want to connect myself, I have an error message which is the following:
    We could not connect you to Windows Live Messenger
    Your contact list is not currently available. 84cc0020 error

    In short, I made a research in the base of knowledge of Microsoft to see how to regulate this error, but it is unknown… Just like on google, it has anything in result.

    What is odd, it is that I connect myself without concern on mobile MSN and the MSN of the xbox360.

    An idea?

    Thank you
    Blessings to you

    This problem occurs when the bank of information of Messenger contact is damaged.

    If the previous steps do not resolve or apply to this problem, you will have to contact the Messenger technical support team for more help. The support team will ask you to provide some additional information. You can find this information in the Messenger connectivity log. To collect and submit this information, follow these steps:
    To exit Messenger, right-click the Messenger icon in the notification area on the right side of the task bar, and then click Exit.
    Delete the old Messenger connection log file:

    Windows Vista:
    • Click Start, type %userprofile% in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER to open Windows Explorer.
    • In Windows Explorer, double-click My Documents, and then double-click My Received Files.
    • In the My Received Files folder, select the MsnMsgr.txt file, and then press DELETE on your keyboard. If connection logging in Messenger is not already enabled, you will not see the MsnMsgr.txt file.



    Windows XP:
    • Click Start, and then click Run.
    • Copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER to open Windows Explorer:
    • %userprofile%
    • In Windows Explorer, double-click My Documents, and then double-click My Received Files.
    • In the My Received Files folder, select the MsnMsgr.txt file, and then press DELETE on your keyboard. If connection logging in Messenger is not already enabled, you will not see the MsnMsgr.txt file.
    • Turn on Messenger connection logging:
    • Start Messenger but do not sign in.
    • On the Tools menu, click Options.
    • On the left navigation bar, click Connection.
    • Click Advanced Settings.
    • Under Connection Logging, click to select the Save a log of my server connections to help troubleshoot connection problems check box.
    • Click OK.
    • Sign in to Messenger again. The new connectivity log file, MSNMsgr.txt, will be created in the following folder:


    Windows XP:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Windows_log-on_name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\MsnMsgr.txt
    Windows Vista:
    C:\Users\Windows log-on name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Messenger\M...
