MSN usually signs when I turn on my computer, today it didn't.
I tried opening it from the start menu. I click on it, and nothing happens.
Tried restarting the computer, same thing happens.
I uninstalled it, then reinstalled it. Now it opens, but whenever I try to sign it I get:
"We can't sign you into msn right now, error code: 8007007e"
I've tried searching online for an answer, but it's all in computer gibberish..
Yay, more gibberish!..:><:
Thanks bro. I tried doing what that link said, but I couldn't get past the first step. The scan keeps stopping and telling me to insert the CD, which I'm pretty sure I don't have...
edit- ignoring the first step doesn't work, i tried..
Try uninstalling the one you have and try using an older version. Try msn messenger 7.5 if you can and see what happens. When you install it, it will probably say there is a newer version. Just hit no and continue using it and see if it works.
1. Go to Start, click Run. Type "msconfig" and hit enter. (type it without the quotes)
2. On the General tab, click the "Launch System Restore" button at the bottom.
3. A new window pops up. Make sure "Restore my computer to an earlier time" is selected, and hit next.
4. In this window, you will see a calender. You will also see some numbers that are darker than others. Those are the restore points that you can use. Try to remember the date this started happening and then find a date that has a restore point thats closest to the date the problem started. For example, if this started on the 10th, try to look for a restore point that closest to the 10th. Once you figure out which date you want to use, click it and then click next.
5. At this point, make sure everything is saved because your PC will restart after you hit next again.
Thats it. Hopefully that should do it. By the way, here is an example of what I mean in step number 4: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...em_Restore.png. See how 17, 18, and 19 are dark? Those are the restore points that I'm talking about.

Anyone know what I could do?
I think I got the exact same message before,since it looks familiar...what I had to do was log into hotmail,then change the region from the random country i had put to the one I was actually in.
I doubted it would work,but when I tried it, it actually did. So yeah,I know it sounds really random,lol,but if you had put a random country(not the one you're actually in),switch it to where you really are...see if it works...
Zahida- I have! Lol, it makes these loud whirring noises every so often and I thump it and it stops. I'm waiting till the end of the school year to buy a new laptop, I'll have to manage with this one until then.
Stranger- Oh man, how I wish I could do that, it would be so relieving.
Houda- Yeah, I had that problem a while back as well, and I changed the country, and it ended up working.. Think this time it's different though.
Kai- Great ideas, I'm going to try them right now, thanks. Link doesn't work though, but I'll look for it somewhere else.
Alright, so I tried downloading the older version. When I came to sign in, it said I wouldn't be able to until I downloaded the newer version. So I did. After it finished downloading and was about to complete installation, I got this
Catastrophic failure. Woohoo.:><:
I'm going to try a system restore now, and if that doesn't work, I give up, I'll just use ebuddy or something..
