Signing in to Windows Live Messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later. Error 80040154

After I installed windows live essentials 2011 on Windows Vista I got this error. I tried the instructions in the link provided by the error message (http://windowslivehelp.com/solution.aspx?solutionid=f427b98c-8fc9-4e0c-9931-859ddf8caa69) but didn’t help. So I just run the installation again & run repair as follows:

1. Start –> Control Panel –> Programs.
2. Then locate "Windows Live Essentials 2011" in the list and click on “uninstall/change”.
3. Windows Live Essentials 2011 setup will run and ask you to reinstall or repair. Click on repair.
4. When it finish. Start Windows Live Messenger & sign in.
