When you start Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger you cannot sign in, and you get error code 0x8100030e along with the message:
Signing in to .NET Messenger Service failed because the service is too busy. Please try again later. 0x8100030e
Click the Help button to check the current service status.
Error code 0x8100030e usually occurs when there is a problem with the .NET Messenger service, one or more of the servers providing it might be down with as result that you can no longer sign in. This normally won't take longer then a few minutes/hours. For more information you can check the .NET Messenger Service Status or our forum.
Please note that the .NET Messenger Service Status is not always accurate, it might state "All systems are stable and running." for some time even when the servers are having issues. Once they are confirmed by Microsoft they might change it to: "The .NET Messenger Service is temporarily experiencing difficulty. You may be unable to sign in. If you are signed in, you may not be able to update your contacts list. Please try again later.". The the bottom line is that you will just have to wait it out.
