Windows Live Messenger Error 81000306 on Vista

by Alpesh Nakar

I don’t use Vista at work and at home, there isn’t enough time to check emails (family+study) let alone chat. But if you use Vista and WLM and see this error code, here is a cool fix. Will serve as a reference for me as well.

- Click start
- Type: cmd (but don’t hit Enter)
- 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

Then just sign into WLM; you don’t even have to reboot.
