Error Code 81000314

JCC · External Since: Sep 14, 2005 Posts: 8

Same problem experienced in Taipei. Some of my friends are not affected, but
only me. I guess this is because I registered the hotmail account in the very
early day (about 9 years ago).

Very annoying situation.

Hello,

I have been experiencing this error code for a couple of days now and still
cant log on to Live Messenger on my Laptop. However, logging on to
LiveMessenger on my home PC and @hotmail.com or using another account for
live messenger on my laptop is "ok".

Please kindly advise if there is anything I can do to solve this problem on
my laptop.

Thanks!

Hi.....I have the same problem...actually it's really annoying....i've been
trying to connect all day but there is no way to do it.
I'm from Chile.....do you know how long will it take to fix this? or maybe
we would have to create a new account to sign in succesfully.....i hope not!
Let me know if you have some idea.....
thanks

I'm experiencing the same problem as all of you. This is getting annoying, I
hope they fix it soon!

Hi,

Oddly enough I was having the same problem this morning, but was fixed sometime this
afternoon and is now working again.

I have tried many things to fix this problem, i.e. making new log on accounts
from my computer. I have alos researched the error code and found nothing! My
friend and i are completely baffled we hvae spent the majority of this
morning tryin various things, the situations becomes "weirder" as my friend
can sign on and so can my brother, it just doesn't let me sign in. I have had
this problem for a couple of days now and as the service status says that all
servers on msn and windows live are running fine i cannot see how this
problam has occured, If anyone has any method of fixing this please reply as
i am desperate to fix this, it is driving me and my friend around the bend!!!!

After a whole day of uninstalling reinstalling repairing nothing had worked
until i recvied an email from microsoft because i had conacted customer
services and had filled out a form, after another email it sent me steps
which where very technical but in the end worked. Thank You microsoft!

Hi I'm from Singapore & I'm having the same problem as you guys. Tried to
login via Web MSN..unsuccessful. It kept asking me to Sign in even though
I've signed in a zillion times. Tired on another PC to sign in same error as
before.

Error 81000314, 81000377 or 81000378: Your contact list is not available
If you receive one of these messages, your contact list is not available or
is in read-only mode. Wait a few minutes, and then try to sign in again.

this is what the live help says about the error code... i guess that means
the problem is in the server... im gettin the same error... and its
annoying... i hope they fix it soon because everything shows that its located
in the server not in our computers...

heres the fix guys! it worked for every1 thats done it so far!

add these 2 lines to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.skadns.net

ooh, for thos of you who cant see ur hosts file, open notepad and put in
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" as the file name... make sure u dont
ad .txt to the file name wen u save it but if you do then just re-name and
delete the extension...

ive just received the same prob as u guy a few mins b4 posting this
msg. ive had a similar problem b4.....but i forgot the error code.
anyways, i did a system scan using HijackThis. it showed that i had a
lot of host addresses that uses the same address...most of which was
porn sites. i deleted the host address n logged back in msn. n it
workes fine!

i think the problems we all have might b of the same cause....the host
ip. strangely when i did a system scan this time, it didnt show weired
results like the last time.

i apologise in advance if ive put up false hopes on those who think
ive already solved the prob.

btw im from singapore
