Error Code 81000314

I have tried to sign into Messenger unsuccessfully all morning, keep getting
the following error message: "Signing into windows live messenger failed
because the service is temporaily unavailable. Please try again later, error
code : 81000314"

Anyone else experiencing similiar problems or know if this is a wider issue?

Hi Jas,

Greetings,

This is a server-based server and usually a localized problem within a small amount of
accounts.

Unless the entire or majority of the service is down for an extended period, the system
status page won't change.

Thank you Johnathan. After reading replies after your statement, if it works
on one machine and not another - Mohamed, are you using the same account to
login with? If so, Johnathan, your stament of being localized to a small
number of users cannot be quite correct, OR, Mohamed has a different problem
all together with the first machine they tried.

Are the user accounts stored on your servers randomly or by geographic/IP
address? I am in Northern Indiana and I too am having this same error. I am
also getting complaints from other users in my company using their personal
accounts to sign in and are unsuccessful.

And were is this status page you speak of? I tried to find Messenger's
site, but am getting redirected to the new Live site. I thought it use to be
www.msn.com/messenger....

Thanks for your time!

I have got the same problem, MSN Messenger on my PC won't log me in, Web
Messenger does.
And I am from Belgium (Europe) so I don't think it is a local problem.

Bob

almost end of the year 2008 and MSN Messenger has the same login problems, I
have this problem since yesterday, cannot login but sudenly maybe 10 or 20
minutes later I can, is annoying! Jonathan did you fin out at the end what
was the problem about?

Hi, I joined this forum specifically to solve this error.
This has happened since yesterday.
I've googled this and have tried all the methods - all have NOT worked.

This is getting on my nerves. It also appears not to work on the other computer in the house.

I'm in Singapore.

Hi all -
I am in the St. Louis area, and we are unable to log into messenger this morning, either from home or from work. Sporadic logins available yesterday, but not a good situation.

What is being done?

Val

[nicice]

it has also been hitting me since yesterday aswell, i have even re installed msn, i have also tried the solution by adding lines to the host file > but it will not let me save it even when i change it from a .txt file!! someone help please!! before i go insane!!
i have even tried to log in via web based messengers and that is not working either!!
p.s. i am in the UK! so by the looks of it it is hitting everyone everywhere!!
