Users over diffrent forums across the globe with Windows Live Messenger 8.1 are reporting to experience sign-in problems with error code 81000395.
Most likely as the build is too much buggy, Microsoft is restricting access to managed beta testes only.
Currently the only solution i found is to downgrade to WLM 8.0.0812.
WLM 8.1 doesnt give you much of usefull addtional feaures and is extremely unstable. So you wont be missing much anyways.
Patchou, the author of Messenger Plus! Live expressed his views on WLM 8.1 beta as:
The main reason for that delay is very simple: the current beta of Messenger 8.1 is extremely unstable and brings nothing really new to its users. I encourage all of you to stick with version 8.0 for now, you’ll feel much better without a Messenger that can crash every 5 minutes during a chat .
You can download Widows Live Messenger 8.0.0812 from:
RapidShare or FileHippo
As MSN Messenge wont allow you to install a older version over a newer one, you will first have to uninstall Windows Live Messenger 8.1 Beta.
You can uninstall it from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs

Now install the downloaded Widows Live Messenger 8.0.0812 and enjoy chatting :)

sorry but if you wnat to solve your problem then translate my answer. bye.

El problema aparecio ahora en la version 8.5 a mucha gente que “curiosamente” tiene windows u office no original y despues de actualizar algunos archivos……
No les parece un poco extraño?? La cosa es que el problema se presenta por la actualizacion tiene relacion con internet explorer y messenger live.
Explicarlo es una lata, pero quieren la solucion?? aqui va.
Lo mejor de todo es que al fin nos desharemos de INTERNET EXPLORER sin eliminarlo del sistema, o sea, no lo usaremos nunca mas.
Bajen stuffplug3 lo instalan.
Bajen firefox lo instalan y lo dejan como predeterminado.
en la configuracion de stuffplug3 elijan la opcion : open all url in default browser marquenla y cierren el programa.
Abran internet explorer y vayan a herramentas, despues opciones de internet, elijan borrar cookies, confirmen el borrado, luego borren archivos temporales, borren historial.
Ojo no vuelvan a usar el internet explorer, ahora solo a usar firefox, elimnen los accesos directos a internet explorer.
Ojala les sirva, para muchos ya fue la solucion definitiva.
Si vuelven a usar internet explorer debes eliminar nuevamente las cookies temp e historial, cda vez que se quieran conectar con messenger.
suerte!!!
good luck!!!

That’s the thing. I don’t HAVE Web Shield listed. Just Resident Shield.
