I’d posted about a week earlier about the fact that my WLM9 beta for one reason or other just decided to go south and refused to allow me to sign in, ending with the 80070057 error. Today I decided to give it another try. Installed WLM9 beta and waited for the spinning pair to sign in – Error 80070057 popped up again. UGH.
Checked the Messenger blog. Nothing about this error, nada, zilch. So bit humble pie and returned to v8.5.1302.1018. Could sign in immediately. Would someone in Microsoft get to the bottom of this error, once and for all? However, I’m not going to hold my breath. If WLM9 was a piece of crap, I wouldn’t care much, but the fact is it’s pretty good, and that’s what is making me feel frustrated about not being able to sign in with it.
The ball’s in your court, Microsoft Messenger guys.

Still think from the error code that it has to do with a silent update gone bad…still my opinion…and one not likely to be confirmed since they’ve not said they’re doing such updates.
Funny thing is, my son can sign in to his account, using WLM9 on my PC. But I can’t sign into mine!
