Operating Malfunctions

We can't go online.

That's MSN error 81000378.

This afternoon, Microsoft finally pulled support on 7.0 and I was forced to update to Windows Live, which... has never... worked... on this computer.

It's just one error message after another. First, I encountered my old enemy, error code 80048820. Way back whenever I tried to use Live, it's always been 80048820 I just couldn't get past. This time, it was accompanied by extended code 80048439, which I assume to be a sort of second form in my boss fight against the internet.

I tried a few fixes, and suddenly I ran up error code 81000378. I'm not entirely sure whether this is a step forward or backwards; but the search results for 81000378 seem to suggest it has no reliable solution.

So I was stuck.

Well, there's always eBuddy I guess.

It looks good too. Pretty interface.

Anyone else got this problem?
