All but MSXML3.dll registered. Strange thing is MSN Messenger works fine on a different user login on the same PC.
Seymour . Here the same thing...
I have typed all commands, but it still does not work. Strange thing is that MSN Messenger works fine on a different user login on the same PC as Seymour said. Unfortunately, not for new created user logins. Strange...
Han. Strange. I had sam problem.... it works for me.
Can you tell us something more.
This solution has solved my problems
THANK YOU@ YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I HAD SOMETHING REAL IMPORTANT TO DAO WTHIN MESSENGER AND I COULD NOT GET IN! THANK YOU!
argh. i'm pissed. i've tried a lot of things but my windows still doesnt work. still the Error: 800401f3. and Regsvr Msxml3.dll stuff doesnt work. it hasnt been working for half a year.
guys, my msn messneger hasn't been working, and I saw this solution somewhere else, marvin miller says:A lot of people have been experiencing problems with slow typing on the MSN Messenger sign-in screen as well as increased CPU usage atributed to msnmsgr.exe For some reason Acer Aspire notebook users seem to be particularly affected by this but it's by no means limited to them - it's an equal opportunity problem causer laugh.gif
Most often this is described as seeing the message service unavailable & experiencing slow keyboard response when typing.
If you are running Windows XP try the following steps;
Go to a DOS prompt and type in the following OR go to Start -> Run and then copy and paste each line below hitting enter after each one.
regsvr32 Dssenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Gpkcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Slbcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Sccbase.dll /s
regsvr32 Softpub.dll /s
regsvr32 Wintrust.dll /s
regsvr32 Initpki.dll /s
regsvr32 Rsaenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Mssip32.dll /s
regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll /s
regsvr32 Msxml3.dll /s
What these statements do is re-register the cryptographic files for Windows XP. Usually blown encryption is an effect caused by a virus or SpyWare infection.
thank god my windows messenger works, but i really need my msn, i dont know how to get it to work. I've never encountered this problem before.
all but regsvr32 Msxml3.dll dosent work! helpppp!!! i need to use live messenger!!
Hello ,
Dear support ,
I cannot log in i am getting an error ( 800401f3 )
I dont have Firewall
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p125/ftoon/problema.jpg
I searched on google.com and i found this solution :
I must go to DOS and write this
regsvr32 Dssenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Gpkcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Slbcsp.dll /s
regsvr32 Sccbase.dll /s
regsvr32 Softpub.dll /s
regsvr32 Wintrust.dll /s
regsvr32 Initpki.dll /s
regsvr32 Rsaenh.dll /s
regsvr32 Mssip32.dll /s
regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll /s
regsvr32 Msxml3.dll /s
and pressing Enter between each one
when i finished i tried them all without /s all was success expect the lastone "Msxml3.dll" wich failed .
http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2323/problemaaaaaaaatc7.jpg
i searched on the google for "Msxm13.dll" , i found it and i download it and paste it on System32 .
But it didn't help , but the error code changed to " 80048883"
i seaeched again on the google for this error and i discovered that i must download a file called "ppcrlconfig.dll" and place it in :
C:\Documents and Settings\[Windows Username]\Application Data\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\
i did it and i uninstalled Windows Live Messenger and downloaded msn 7.5 and the error code now is the old one " 800401f3" .
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p125/ftoon/1-3.jpg
I even tried "sfc /scannow" and installed 'msxml3.msi'
But it didn't change anything.
And now i gave up!
the problem is just with this account if i log into another user it works ok .
Looking forward to hearing from you and please see the pictures that i put with the letter for more explain .
thank you .
Thank you for all your help guys!
For those who cannot solve this problem read this:
Reset the entire registry permissions to defaults
Reset the entire registry permissions to defaults
Here is the detailed instruction on resetting the permissions for the whole registry. This was posted by Ken Zhao of Microsoft.
1. Download and install SubInACL (Microsoft Official Page)
2. Create a file named reset.cmd in C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools folder.
3. Edit the reset.cmd file with the following content.
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
4. Enter into CMD prompt.
5. Enter the following commands one at a time and click Enter.
cdcd "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
reset.cmd
6. After a few minutes by processing subinacl, the permission will be reset.
mine come up with the same thing and i ant been on msn for nere 4 monthe helpppp
I was having this error message with one user account on the computer but not others. I tried the advice posted by admin (via Ken Zhao of Microsoft)and it worked a treat.
i haven't got a clue what that guy from microsoft is on about, could someone please translate into english? this is very annoying, one minute msn is working fine and the next it's doing this, please help!
Im soo lost wat the hell is he tryin to say.. " copy and paste each line below hitting after each one,, ?? wat is that ...
The resetting of registry did it, looks like areal hack but it did the work!
Regarding copy and paste of the lines, it should be cd and not cdcd in the first line...
the last code dont work help me please
yeh this doesn't work when i paste them into the run place it asks me what program i want to open it with i click on acrobat reader then it comes up it can't read it my me corrupt what do i do
It's working fine for me.
I have the same problem (err:800401f3), I've done the regsvr32 thing, but the file MSXML3.dll is the only one that hasn't registered, although after that error changes to err:80004005. I've downloaded the MsXML3.msi and installed, but with no luck. I've also tried the SubInACL, but it crashes my computer :(
help... :(
Hi, PROBLEM is that reset of permitions works ONLY 4 user who runs this reset.cmd script with SubInAcl.exe commands. When I run it under administrator MSN works only under administrator. Also ICQ. When I run under another user (also in Administrators group) MSN works correctly ONLY under this user. I've got feeling we are near the right solution...
kuchy@netscape.net
I had similar problems. I tried the dos prompt with no luck then I ran the second option and it worked. I somehow got a nasty virus which blocked access and had to reset the codes. Here is the one I used
1. Download and install SubInACL (Microsoft Official Page)
2. Create a file named reset.cmd in C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools folder.
3. Edit the reset.cmd file with the following content.
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
4. Enter into CMD prompt.
5. Enter the following commands one at a time and click Enter.
cd
cd "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
reset.cmd
6. After a few minutes by processing subinacl, the permission will be reset.
Step 6 took about 5 minutes or so, but it worked and I'm back in business.
Thanks
At last it works. I have been working on this for hours.
Ignore all other posts on this issue this is the only one that worked for me. It may be complicated but if you follow the instructions it really does work.
When you say " copy and paste each line below hitting after each one" What do you mean by hitting? I know it may sound like a dumb question but i am really confused!
it works great !
It took me more than 5 min. to fix up my registry permission.
Thanks,
Yes it works! I was quite annoyed at the fact that detailed instructions were not given >=(...So here they are:
1) Download:
Download this file from Microsoft:
link = http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E8BA3E56-D8FE-4A91-93CF-ED6985E3927B&displaylang=en
2) Creation of File:
Open up your notepad application and copy the following into it:
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
Now save it in the folder
C:\
Program Files
Windows Resource Kits
Tools
Note: When saving it, save it as "reset.cmd" and remember to select
"All Files" in Save as file type.
3) Open up your command prompt:
- cd "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" [Enter]
- reset.cmd [Enter]
You will now see your command prompt screen filling with information [Just like the matrix =)]
Don't Panic! You are on the right path
4) Wait a while [for it to stop] and you are done!
5) Open up MSN Messenger!

It just keeps telling me that what I type in is not recognized as an internal or external command . . .
I finally got to the "matrix" part. It is working as i type. It has a red part up on the top and part of it says failed, but I hope that doesn't mean it really did fail. I will wait for it and we'll see. It's been going at least 3 mins or so already

Reset the entire registry permissions to defaults
Reset the entire registry permissions to defaults
Here is the detailed instruction on resetting the permissions for the whole registry. This was posted by Ken Zhao of Microsoft.
1. Download and install SubInACL (Microsoft Official Page)
(you can type SubInACL in google and download it)
2. Create a notepad file named reset.cmd in C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools folder. with the following in its content:
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f

4. Enter into CMD prompt.
5. Enter the following commands one at a time and click Enter.
cd "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Press enter)
reset.cmd (Press enter)
6. After a few minutes by processing subinacl, the permission will be reset. Dont shut down he PC because the command bar starts doing the matrix because it is actually fixing ur PC
ok im on step four. But what the heck is "CMD Prompt"? please reply
CMD Prompt = Command Prompt (Start > Run > cmd)
Ive been on countless pages investigating this fault, and noticed that SOME people are able to sort it by re-registering the dll files.
But the REST of us, cant register the msxml3.dll file! Not sure what the big deal is with this file, but its the reason why no ones msn works. Anyway, im trying the resetting of the registry permissions, its taking forever, got the great red box at the top and its running... fingers crossed!
HHHHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!! NUFIN WORKS!!!
hey peter where is the Windows Resource File?is it automatically on all computers cos i cant see it?
how long does resetting the registry permissions take ?
Goodluck and Godbless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thing doesn't work still. I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I´ve tried everything you guys said.. but it´s still not working :(
OMG NOTHING IS WOKRING
If you have the problem of the SubInACL fix only working on the one user like I did, here is the solution!! - - >
Add this line to your reset.cmd file
subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
Now I can use MSN Mess on all users!
(I got this last line from http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-errors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx
Good luck
So, how long do you wait? the red line matrix thing has already came up twice
Dont do that SubInACL thing completely messed up my PC
It works guys, if you're not complete noob, read this whole blog here, somewhere in the middle part, a guy posted detailed info on what the microsoft guy talked about. It took about 10 minutes with that "matrix" part, lol, but in the end it stopped, and I ran MSN, it told me to run it again for some reason, so I did, and it works same as before now.
OMG!IT WORKED!
it's been a DAY!a whole dayyy
first it didn't work..i tried so many things--i was thinking..why do i have to be one of those people who can't solve this problem?
i followed what peter said (ty), even if at first i didn't know how to create the new file (if u have the same problem look here-> http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx)
in the end i finally got to register that DAMN MSXML3.DLL!!!
i'll tell you..i actually didn't try if msn works again...but i'm just so happy that i registered it XD!
i guess it's over now *dances*
T.H.A.N.K.Y.O.U.
thank you SO much!it works...but..GEEZ
i have more than one user and everytime i fix one the other won't work..it's driving me crazy..
i can't do that "reset.cdm" thing everytime -____-
is there a way to make every users' windows live messenger work at the same time and PERMANENTLY?
thanks -___-
The following is work...in my case!
thank you!!
------------------------------
In google search for msxml3.dll, download it and then put it in the c:\WINDOWS\System32\
then run -> regsvr32 msxml3.dll
for me that worked fine, 5 minutes and the problem was past...
Try it!
this didnt work for me it didnt tell me any of them failed but im still getting the same error
none of them say anything when i put them in, and my windows live STILL wont work.. help?
the one advice with cd "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" helps...it go

AND MY WINDOWS MESSENGER..
THE OLDEST VERSION
WORKS
ALL RIGHT
=S
Nothing worked .
thank you guys!
the second way just saved my life!
it has fixed even the script error from Gtalk!
everything succeeded except for the last one, the oldest version of msn works but none of the newer versions
msn works fine on my dads XP account but no one elses, it all started when we re downloaded Norton because something was wrong with it..
I'm pretty sure its something with Norton because it happened ever since norton was re downloaded on both the laptop and the computer which sucks because before we re downloaded Norton which we legally bought it worked fine on the laptop, it didnt work on the computer buh after we did, it was really messed. (N)
if anyone can help, thanks =)
If you get this error code, try typing this into the run box and it should fail: REGSVR32 %windir%\system32\msxml3.dll This happens to me, so I went onto another account on my computer (in which messenger works) and typed REGSVR32 %windir%\system32\msxml3.dll into the Run box and it says suceeded. We are both administrators and I have checked to make sure his administrative settings are exactly the same. The only difference is his account was created before mine and might be the original. Note that I only just got msn working on his desktop, his desktop came up with a different error code which i soon fixed.
How Do You Go To DOS ? I No It Might Seem A Silly Question But I Don`t Know How.

I found that they worked without the /s at the end of them.
All of the commands work except for "regsvr32 Msxml3.dll". Does anyone know why this didn't work?
Oh yeah, and the error code when the last command doesn't work is:
0x80004005
Please help!
i can suggest backing up all your data, and formatting your hard drive.
make sure you have a windows installation CD and all your drivers for your hardware before doing this.
i tried all methods for this problem, and formatting is my last resort.
Yes it does work!!!!!!
A suggestion ..
Clean out your computer, with disk cleaner or any other anti-virus program.
Then try the method, it really works!!!!! :-)
Thanks who ever posted it :)

I had similar problems. I tried the dos prompt with no luck then I ran the second option and it worked. I somehow got a nasty virus which blocked access and had to reset the codes. Here is the one I used
1. Download and install SubInACL (Microsoft Official Page)
2. Create a file named reset.cmd in C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools folder.
3. Edit the reset.cmd file with the following content.
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
4. Enter into CMD prompt.
5. Enter the following commands one at a time and click Enter.
cd
cd "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
reset.cmd
6. After a few minutes by processing subinacl, the permission will be reset.
Step 6 took about 5 minutes or so, but it worked and I'm back in business.
Thanks
in step 5 i typed in cd "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" but then it said, it couldnt find "cd"
and then after that i tried typing in reset.cmd and then it happens again omg..
i've done step 1-4 all clearly but this piece of shit step 5 doesnt even help
and please people...next time give clear instructions
the admin that posted these instructions first? he did a horrible job
he typed in "Create a file named reset.cmd in C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools folder."
ok first of all he said file which meant stuff putting into that file but we never knew that we had to fuking create a NOTEPAD
SECOND OF ALL was that he said "enter into CMD prompt"
ok in this part, he could of least said
"open cmd prompt"
and also i have another reason that he should of said that
because people dont know what the fuking hell CMD PROMPT IS
next time PUT A FREAKING EXAMPLE SO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
E.G START > RUN = CMD PROMPT
UR A HORRIBLE ADMIN
i still need help on step 5 =)
Regarding STEP #5 originally posted by admin, here's how to do it with 100% success rate!
Go to START > RUN
***Type in cmd and press ENTER
---The MS-DOS command prompt should appear.
***Next, type CD C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools and press ENTER.
---That should send you directly to the appropriate directory.
***Finally, type reset.cmd and press ENTER.
---The "matrix" process should begin...all you have to do now is wait for it to completely stop processing, which can take a while--maybe 10 minutes.
***After that, close out the MS-DOS prompt and start up MSN/Live Messenger...you will get a message saying something along the lines of 'a critical problem has been fixed or updated'. When you start MSN/Live Messenger a 2nd time, then it should work.....the 800401f3 problem should be gone immediately.
I don't know why the hell they said to use "cd C:\blahblah" in the RUN prompt...that's incorrect; you can't just change directory (MS-DOS command) in the RUN prompt, silly. Trust me, I'm a programmer. =P

Hey is it true that I need to go delete my contacts folder because it has a virus in it?
There was a guy above that said that if you get rid of that "snafu" in your contacts folder info it has success.

I re-registered that msx3 thing and it works!
IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!
