Hey Ya Brucey Bonus. Could you post this in Misc. Software & Utilities? I did a little reading and you may have a Trojan.

Or it could be this.

"THIS FIXES IT!!

Answer
The fix for this 4882c error is to delete the following reg keys -

Messenger 8.0: delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\Policies
Messenger 8.1: delete
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsLive\CommunicationsClient\Shared

Be sure to log out, EXIT Messenger then restart for the keys to be refreshed.

As a general note there were a number of unrelated deployment issues over
the last few days that all manifested themselves as "unable to sign in"
situations for Windows Live Messenger. In the event you cannot sign in we
recommend you sign into webmessenger.msn.com in the interim. We take these
situations very seriously and are working very hard to ensure Messenger is
robust enough to recover from issues like these. We humbly appologize for the
inconvenience this has caused our users and we have added new code to our
latest 8.1 build such that it can recover if this situation is encountered
again. This new build is in its final stages of verification and should be
available very soon for our valued beta testers.

Thank you so much for your patience as we put the final touches on the next
release and thanks for helping us make Messenger even better.
