Microsoft Live OneCare and Error Message 2100
In past blogs I first pondered about Microsoft Live OneCare, then reviewed it, next grumbled about error Message 2100, and most recently resolved the problem of not being able to subscribe to it.
Doing a Google search for Live OneCare Message 2100 produced 7,940 matches. Of the results I checked, the problem was presented, but no one advanced a verified solution.
Well, for the sake of global computer sanity, I will share my solution!
First, The Problem: Microsoft Live OneCare ran fine in the trial mode, but when I tried to subscribe, I received an error Message 2100. I could not find an answer online nor was anyone who I communicated with at Microsoft aware of what "Message 2100" meant or how to fix it.
What Didn't Work: Uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Live OneCare, signing up for a second account, trying to subscribe on a second computer, and all combinations thereof.
The Solution: Instead of downloading the software and subscribing online, I bought the software on CD from a local store and installed it from the CD. Since I already paid for it, I didn't need to subscribe online, hence bypassing the problem.
Now I have Microsoft Live OneCare happily chugging away on three computers, (hopefully) protecting me from all manner of Internet evil.
