When you get error 8100030f in windows live messenger:
(messenger: we can't sign you in to windows live messenger because the authentication service is not compatible)

The solution to the problem is to edit the "hosts" file which is located at :

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

Just add to the file the following line at the end of the file:

65.54.239.80    messenger.hotmail.com
