Hi, Hopefully somebody can help.

I am Trying to sign in on messenger and I am getting an error code
81000306. It also says to check my firewall and internet connection and both of these seem fine. I am using Vista Home Premium, and version 8.1 of messenger. Any ideas on what the problem might be.

Thanks in advance
Stephen.:confused:

    :wave: I found the procedure below in another group, and it solved the problem with Vista and Live Messenger.
    Apparently Vista's "auto-tuning" networking feature doesn't work some routers firewalls.

    Try this:
    - Click start
    - Type: cmd
    - Right-click cmd.exe when it appears under Applications
    - Click Run As Administrator
    - Type the following: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
    - Press enter
    - Restart your computer

    To check autotuning is disabled repeat the above but type: netsh int tcp
    show global

    You can also find further info on the above method on the Microsoft website
