When you launch MSN Messenger and try to logon, you get an error message 81000314. A wild guess, there is a problem with the MSN Server.
The Cause of Code 81000314
The Microsoft MSN server
is down or otherwise unavailable. If it is indeed Microsoft's MSN problem, then be careful not to make matters worse, for example don't try mending something that does not need mending and thus
breaking a perfectly good system.
Another possibility is that Softpub.dll may have become unregistered.
Launch CMD and navigate to %appdata%\microsoft. CD %appdata%\microsoft
Dir /s ListCache.dat
Decide if you want to delete the cache. Del /s ListCache.dat
Restart your MSN Messenger.
3) Register softpub.dll.
Click Start (Button), and then click Run, type regsvr32 softpub.dll. Restart MSN Messenger.
It would do no harm to also
use regsvr32 to re-register: wintrust.dll and initpki.dll
4) Another problem could be
firewall related, thus try temporarily disabling the firewall. If this cures the problem, make sure that MSN Messenger is allowed full access through the firewall.
If you are suffering from MSN Error Code 81000314, check that the server is available at Microsoft's
end. at: http://messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx. Beware of doing anything to make the problem worse, when it could be the servers fault.
