You'll just have to wait unfortunately. It's not something that can be fixed by anything

Error 81000314, 81000377 or 81000378: Your contact list is not available. If you receive one of these messages, your contact list is not available or is in read-only mode. Wait a few minutes, and then try to sign in again.

Possible Solution
\Documents and Settings\\Contacts\ and delete "contactcoll.cache" rename "contactcoll.cache.bak" to "contactcoll.cache". Make sure you make another backup .

Solution 1
Error 81000314... to solve this, try opening your Internet Explorer browser and make sure that File > Work Offline is NOT selected. This will help.

Solution 2
This problem is usually caused by one of the dll files that Messenger needs not being properly registered. To fix this problem you need to register it correctly.

To resolve it, you can download this file and run it (double-click the downloaded file). It will register all the required .dll files which means Windows can find the file when Messenger needs it.
If you prefer, you can also type the following command yourself to register the dll file

First open a run window by clicking start, then run. Now, type the following command and press enter:

regsvr32 softpub.dll
