Windows Live Messenger 80048820 and Extended 80048439 Error Code

Posted By Raymond In Category: Computer

2007

Still remember the error code 80048820 that affected many people during MSN Messenger version 7.5? Apparently the problem was caused by the wrong date on my computer. Changing back the date fixed the problem. Today again I got a a very similar error code on my Windows Live Messenger which is 80048820 WITH an extended 80048439 or 8004840f error code.
Fix MSN 80048820 and extended 80048439 or 8004840f Error Code
At first I didn’t look carefully at the error code and thought that there might be a temporary problem on .NET Messenger Service. After an hour, I am still getting the same error code and this now I think the problem might be on my computer because Microsoft wouldn’t take that long to fix a service that millions of people are using.

I checked the date on my computer and it’s current. I checked .NET Messenger Service status and it says all systems are stable and running.
Check .NET service status
After a little checking, I found what is causing the error code 80048820 and extended error code 80048439.


If the .NET service is stable and running and the system date is correct, the problem should be either the messenger got corrupted or the connection problem. Uninstall and reinstall Windows Live Messenger still didn’t allow me to connect. It must be the connection problem. Windows Live Messenger uses Internet Explorer connection settings to connect. If you’ve set to use proxy on Internet Explorer, Windows Live Messenger will also use the same proxy on Internet Explorer.

Then I remembered earlier today I was using a USA proxy in Internet Explorer to do some test and I forgot to remove the settings. Usually an open proxy don’t stay online for very long. I uncheck to stop using the proxy and voila!, I am able to connect to Windows Live Messenger without getting the 80048820 error code with 80048439 or 8004840f extended error code.

To disable using proxy in Internet Explorer:

1. Click Tools from Internet Explorer menu bar

2. Select Internet Options

3. Go to Connections tab

4. Click on LAN settings button

5. Uncheck “Use a proxy server for your LAN”
Disable proxy server for your LAN

    • Martin

      Same problem here. The most weird thing is that under another user, in the SAME computer, I can connect without problems (and using the same passport!)

      What’s going on?????

    • Ahmed

    • Xiecix Aiecie

      Yup, having this exact problem right now on two computers. One hooked to Globe Telecom (Philippines) DSL and the other to SkyCable Cable Modem.

    • Chris

      Same here. No proxy setting set. Was working fine this morning. Turned of came back and can’t connect to net live. Tried logging on through msn site but that seems to be down. I’m hoping it is just aserver problem at the moment. Al though I am slightly worried that I have been hacked as I received an email today saying the account has been set up for something I haven’t done. Probably spam but still……

    • Carol

      having the problem now myself and none of the above applys to me :( all I did was upgrade to the newest version and now I can’t login.

    • lennette

      well i’m glad it’s not just me getting this error today

    • Jake

      chris i see you posted a comment on the 27th of febuary and its 26th try you date ;)

    • Traci

      can’t log in to Windows Live Messenger. i’ve tried all the suggested fixes and still no luck. Anything else I can try?

    • John

      Likewise, Carol. Upgraded yesterday to newest version, now it doesn’t work.

      But it worked fine yesterday….

    • http://Messenger Nigel West

      I have been having the same issues, and I have tried everything. I just kept on trying for about three hours, and I logged in just fine all of a sudden. I have no idea what I did, because when I was allowed to log in I did not change any settings. I wish that I could help everyone here with issues, but all I can say is to have some patience and keep trying.

    • Pim

      Hi, I had exactly the same problem. This is how I solved it:

      Startup Live Messenger.
      Uncheck the 3 options, (remember password, auto-login, and another one)
      Try to Log-in manually, typ in your email and pass.
      It probably gives you the same warning, but when you try to login again, with the three option checked, it should work!

      Good Luck!

    • Am_Rich…!

      Indeed…
      Same problemo out here…
      Can anyone help plz?
      Thanks

    • Traci

      ok so i fixed mine by going into add/remove programs, clicked on support information and then clicked on repair to reinstall. Now I’m in and faster than before. goodluck

    • Wanda

      Same problem, I’ve done everything suggested, but I did get Load Library module could not be found, when re-registering the SSL Libraries. I’m getting sick of not being able to sign in, this isn’t the first time.

    • Rafi

      I had the same problem but when I have asked a friend to sign on did not get the error message. I have tried to reset my password and getting live server is not available try later. After 2 hours still the same message pops up when trying to change my password. There is no update from Microsft on this issue. will update if I could find a workaround.

    • Traci

      this worked for me in add/remove programs I clicked on informational support then clicked on repair to reinstall. Now I’m in and it’s working faster than it has in a while. Good luck!

    • Voth

      I had the same problem. But I did what Docperry suggested, unchecked the passwords, tried it got an error then rechecked them and added my password and it logged right in.

      MS for you!

    • anna

      This error sucks ass. Been having it all day :S .

      I randomly just tried 3 times on my mac and it worked eventually. However, wanted to use PC as that has all my work stuff on there…

      GRRR

    • Saad

      It was working fine till last night. Today it isn’t working at all, i’ve tried every solution I could find. This is so irritating

    • Andrew

      I had tis problem before and i solved it by setting the time on my Pc. BUT! now I’ve tried everything and still doesnt work. I’ve tried it on both of my computers.
      The funny thing is that sometimes it lets me in :O
      But after I disconnect and try to reconect it doesnt work.

      SOMEBODY plz solve this problem and send it to my e-mail :P
      mode90x@hotmail.com

    • Stephanie

      I’m having the same problem using vista worked last night but when I turned on computer this morning not working now also can’t sign in to hotmail. Any fix yet?

    • Beka

      Not working for me either…. I havnt even done anything, just literally turned my laptop on…

    • Beka

      Actually, not it says there is a service error…

    • Beka

      Working now…

    • James

      i found the solution guys. i think all of you are using router so the solution is to forward ports. I think u all should know how to. So if u forward ur ports msn will work again. thankyou

    • V8matey

      ive been logged on all day and its been working fine… then turned off the PC to go get some lunch (let it cool down..) and 48 hrs later still having the same problem, tried reinstalling IE, FireFox, Msn Live, and even on hotmail webpage says Service Unavailable. but if i type in my email in the address bar at the top it asked me if i want to log on and i click yes then my email works, no spam there. but going through the main page dosent work and neither does msn live? Why does microsoft always want to fix something that aint broke and then end up breaking it and then there like oh shit what do we do now?.
      Another problem is my date and time changes randomly ive replaced the Battery with 3 differant ones on my mofo mobo and still same problem exists. I think there is a new bug out, btw does anyone have certproc32.exe running in taskbar? WTF is that? it wont delete!! and there no info on google as yet. unless you want to spend $$$ on a antivirus program that “might” be able to get rid of it but whats the point the anti virus proggie would be obsolete in a few months anyways??

    • Megan

      I have the exact same problem just installed the update now wont connect i hate it when these things happen

    • Jessica

      I’m getting the same thing I have disabled all Internet Security such as Norton and spy sweeper, register the dll files, and made sure that proxy were correct and deleted internet files and uninstalled and reinstalled. Something is wrong with msn not my internet nor the computer…

    • alexis!

      ugh, i’m having the same problems, except i can sign into my windows hotmail with firefox as well as windows messenger. i haven’t reinstalled, that’s my last resort. a few months ago my dad set up a wireless internet for his lappy but it has always worked up until now. i did all of the above but nothing works!

    • TravAss

      Having the same problem as well. Tried registering the dll, checking/unchecking proxy and all the other suggestions about date, etc. that I’ve read.

      The weird thing is that last week everything was working fine. I came into today, nothing changed that I know of and it is not working.

      How frustrating — I use this for work communication… Grrr…

    • Jessica

      Here is the answer, its fix it for me! and it will work for you all. Make sure you take your time and read it carefully or else you will mess your computer up.

    • Gigi

      I have the same issue as the person above me; I upgraded today to the newest version and it started giving me that error message. Now, I would just go back to the old version but I don’t know how. Also, I am having new difficulty logging into a program called Ruckus since this issue started happening.

    • Tessie

      Ok, I’m no computer geniuos, but this is how I fixed it: Quite in the same way that Tracy (see above), with the difference that what I changed/reinstalled was not the Windows Live Messenger, but the Windows Live “Login Assistent” (don’t know what it is called in english, I have swedish settings on my computer;)) .

      This seems a to be a simple solution that does not require extensive computer knowledge – if any one knows if this is “a bad way” of doing this, give me a warning:)!

      *Go to Remove/add programs. (the part where you can remove or change it)
      *Click on Windows Live Login Assistent (or something like that:)) for information
      *Click on the button that says change/reinstall/repair (or something like that)

      Voila! Messenger works! OBS: Note that I did change the automatic login settings before, that is, I clicked the boxes for automatic login (someone said this would help). But this wasn’t enough and checked the other settings above first. If this does not work, try other approaces first:)!

    • Sam

      Hi all,

      I got the same problem. I found 2 very simple solutions.
      1) System recovery, msn works fine after restoring.
      2) On a normal start, i was getting the error code. I started my pc in safe mode with network possibilities, started msn. Exit safe mode en start windows. Problem solved. I dunno why…

      After trying all this tips and others found in different web pages i found out a solution that worked for me.

      UNINSTALL ANY EXISTING PROTOCOL FROM YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK. JUST LEAVE TCP/IP PROTOCOL.

      In network connections right click your wireless connection. Then properties….
      In taht window uninstall any other protocoll besides “internet protocl tcp/ip”.

      I found out that i have a AEGIS PROTOCOL 802.1X. Some wireless manufacturers include this protocol in their respective software. That protocol is used for some security wpa-psk networks, and its not necessary (at least for me). Just uninstall it, reboot.

      Error code 80048820 – 8004839 Windows Live Messenger UPDATE

      This error can be caused by problems on the MSN servers, look at the status page to see if there are problems reported. If there are, the best thing to do is probably to wait until they are over.
      A frequent cause is that the time on your computer is not correct. To correct the time on your computer, double-click the clock in the bottom right of your screen, in the window that appears you should check both the time and date. If you use Windows XP, you can automatically correct the time by clicking the “Internet Time” tab, next click the “Update Now” button.
      Try re-registering nessairy Messenger dll files:
      First open a run window by clicking start, then run. Now, type the following command and press enter:
      quote:

      ——————————————————————————–

      regsvr32 softpub.dll Wintrust.dll Initpki.dll Rsaenh.dll Mssip32.dll Cryptdlg.dll

      ——————————————————————————–

      If you use Windows XP you should open another run window after running the previous commands then type the following command:quote:

      ——————————————————————————–

      regsvr32 Dssenh.dll Gpkcsp.dll Slbcsp.dll Sccbase.dll

      Or you can use this bat file to do the job for you

      ——————————————————————————–

      Try removing any proxy servers.
      Removing Internet Explorer Proxy Settings:

      Start Internet Explorer.
      On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
      On the Connections tab, click LAN Settings.
      Clear the Automatically detect settings check box.
      Click OK, and then click OK again.

      Removing Messenger proxy settings:

      Start Messenger.
      On the Tools menu, click Options.
      Under Connection, click Advanced Settings.
      Delete the entries under SOCKS.
      Click OK, and then click OK again.

      FOR ME IT WORKED :)

      I just had the same problem, I restarted WLM and I was able to sign in.
      Sometimes it can be the modem. Reset your modem (turn it off for 1 minute).

      Try changing your Routers MTU Size.
      Under your routers WAN settings, look for the MTU size setting. Usually changing it to 1400 works

      and could not open javascript webpage.

      have tried most of the suggestions, but did not work.

      Finally, I reset the MTU of router to 1400.

      MSN and browser work fine.

      Hope it is helpful

      My date and time was off by a couple of minutes and I went in and adjusted it. I was able to get in. Really wierd! But it fixed it so I am not going to complain.

      I have a belkin router as well. I just changed MTU from 1492 to 1400 & it worked. Previously i tried everything from reinstalling it/repair, registering dll files, SSL settings, having no proxy n all the other crap which is mentioned there…

    • Saniya

      This is for that someone who was using a speedtouch modem. I’m using the same one, and i went on the settings and unchecked the “use a proxy for this connection” and it works fine now :)

    • DavidX

      Thanks! Now Working for me!

    • SkrdZ

      if you have winamp on, just turn it off and it should solve the problem…worked when i did it!!!

    • khaled

      I’m getting the same problem :( :( :( :( . what to do “??

    • Shane Jenkins

      Right click the MSN shortcut and run as Administrator… This will solve alot of peoples problems here! Ive just done it now for atleast 15 of my friends… Simple privilage problem with Windows at the moment… Its the same with many other programs too… Before you despair! and seek help from the powers of google make sure you try this with programs that show problems… So far World of Warcraft, MSN Live 7, 8, Nero, Grid Racer and about 4 others show the same type things….

      Good luck hope this helps…

    • Mike

      I think i found out what’s causing the problem,
      When i did the repair thing described here in the comments suddenly i got a msg from the MSN that get installed with Windows by default, It was saying that i have logged in from a different computer and now I’m disconnected. So i checked the default MSN and saw he had “Start Messenger when Windows Starts” and “Let Messenger Run in the background” checked. I’ve unchecked them and now all is good.
      Apparently the old default windows msn is running in the background automatically.

    • Arnab

      I found the solution from other blog

      set the system date and time to correct one…. restart Messenger

      and it worked for many….

    • luis

      f@ck me mate. The datetime thing worked. Jeeesus… Thanks

    • MJ

      Hey mine is not working and im clueless. All I did was switch laptop on and sign in and it didnt work. I’ve tried EVERY suggestion above and it doesnt work! Im on Wireless LAN … Suggestions please? x

    • Andy

      I tried everything anyone has ever written to try and fix this! And none of it worked. In the end I tried loading in all the drivers for my pc – network card driver, graphics card driver etc etc etc. I rebooted and tried logging in again and it worked! Took about 18hrs of trying but sorted now. Good luck!

    • Matt

      Here\’s my fix just uninstall windows live sign in assistant and make sure the date on ur computer is set right especially the year then manually type in your password if none of this works dont fear MSN has an online version that always works http://webmessenger.msn.com

    • Tiger

      Weeelll,. i did the total oposite of what you wrote in the guide, becouse it somehow already was unchecked, and now i finally can use msn again! Now i just need some friends to chat with :/
      But thanks for leading me towards the light =)

    • Andres

      The first and easiest thing to check is the time and date on the computer. Make sure it’s correct. I’d also check the time zone on the “Date and Time Properties” window and on the “Internet Time” tab check the “Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server” box, and click OK.
      Good Luck!

    • Tori

      Ha, the date thing worked. I never even noticed that my clock was set to January 2nd 2001!

    • Joyce

      thanks! it works!
