Try signing in with a different account and see if it works. If it does, then delete your account and re-create it. Post your results.

I've found that WLM9 Beta does not come with an uninstaller - here's a link to get it removed:

I do agree that Beta softwares have very limited support and can even corrupt your system. But little did I ever imagine that Microsoft would ship out a Beta release of Windows Live Messenger without an Uninstaller!! Yes - the latest Windows Live Messenger 2009 Beta comes without an UnInstaller.

For some strange reason, after installing the Windows Live Messenger 2009 Beta - I was getting an error called 8000ffff - I tried many solutions posted online but in vain. Finally, I felt my Messenger 8.1 was much better and there my hunt for the uninstaller began. I searched high and low but in vain.

Finally, I found an easy method to Uninstall Windows Live Messenger 2009 Beta. Goto Start > Run and type the following command and press enter - this starts the uninstaller.

msiexec /x {B1403D7D-C725-4858-AACC-7E5FA2D72859}

How funny?

Btw, for the other Live Beta softwares - here are the codes to uninstall.

Hope the info helps.

I had similar problems. I realized that I might not need this new Beta cause the fonts are hard to read when other folks who use it send me messages.

Wierd. I uninstalled Windows Live 9 beta without any problems. Went to Control Panel, selected the beta and uninstalled. Easy.

Ah well. Waiting until they fix more of the bugs in the beta before trying it again.
