'Signing in to windows live messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. Error code 8100030d'

Does anyone know how to resolve this ?

Give it a try.

• Restart your router/modem.
  
• Software restart worked for me, but also try pull-the-plug and re-plug routine, if software fails.
  
• And restart the computer (if you havn't already done so a dozen times)
