Live Messenger Error 80070005 Vista Fix
Problem: Unable to log in to Live Messenger on Vista with Error Code 80070005
After installing Live Messenger, the check boxes below the username/password fields are disabled. When trying to login, error code 80070005 is displayed immediately(There’s no sign of it trying to connect)
I have tried to fix it by removing the windows account password to log in to Live Messenger, but that didn’t work.
Solution:
Quite simple, create another windows administrator account and use live messenger there. Creating a non administrator account might work as well, but I didn’t try that.
The error is believed to be caused by the interface - Live Messenger’s interface is not translucent like the rest of the applications in Windows Aero.
