go to C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Contacts
right click on wlcomm.exe go to properties – compatibility and then put a v sigh on “run this program in compatibility with windows 95″
this should fix it (odd but it works)

UHSpartan,
If it won’t stay clear, then the problem is now with your Internet Explorer. You might want to repair/reinstall IE.

We found a solution to the problem of gettin an error trying to log in to windows live messenger that list wlcomm.exe and rpawinet.dll. Just rename rpawinet.dll and you can login fine. rpawinet.dll is a NetIdentity HTTP Filter from Novell, Inc. *WARNING* Do not rename this file if you are using the Novell ZENworks
Desktop Management Agent to login to a ZENworks Middle Tier Server or
are using the Myapps.html web site to launch ZENworks applications
(i.e., if you are in an “Agent Only” with no Novell Client
environment). Renaming the file will result in the inability to
authenticate to the Middle Tier or launch applications from the
MyApps.html web page.”

The easiest way to fix this problem is to run a registry cleaner.

The check mark won’t stay clear. When I reopen my internet explorer the setting returns to checked. It doesn’t matter if I press apply or OK. My messenger problem still isn’t solved as well.
