Windows Live Essential - Out of options?

[Valands]

Ok my problem is this: Cannot sign in, it doesn't even go 1 second when I push the loggin button before it gives me an error message and the error code 80040154.

What I've tried: Basically everything I've come over and what MSN support suggested.
I've completely removed everything Windows Live Messenger related stuff on my computer, and reinstalled. But everytime I remove it and I've reinstalled, it still remembers my e-mail and password, which makes me believe I haven't been able to remove everything from my computer when I thought I did.

I'm out of options for now, anyone have any suggestions on what I could try?

Additional info:
According to MSN my MSXML Library is damaged. (I've reinstalled it and everything)
It says "You're not connected to the Messenger Service" on Connection in Options. (I think it might be something with that since everything else fails)
My firewall isn't blocking MSN.

Connection log if it can provide help:

i got the same problem, i think its something to do with msn never installing everything it needs either dll or regtery files

I also had a issue the other day with a windows7 build and live messenger 2011. I don't recall the exact error # but messenger failed to connect same as you described. I fixed the issue by unchecking "check for server certificate revocation*" in the advanced tab of internet options. You can find internet options via the control panel "Control Panel\Network and Internet\internet options" After unchecking and a reboot live messenger worked as it should. Once live messenger was able to connect i was able to go back to internet options and recheck "check for server certificate revocation*" and all was fine. Since I am not sure of what my error code was i cant say that this is your problem but its not something that would cripple your system to maybe try.
