I found out that Windows live messenger 9

Version 2009: 14.0.8089.726 or higher is not supported by Windows XP 64 bit.Also read reviews of many other people having problems signing in into there messenger like me but I actually found out a website on the internet that fixes this problem, which may also help many others.

You will need to download and install

After installing the components 1, 2, 3 , 4 , 5 steps.You should be able to use your msn messenger 9 on XP 64 Bit and signing with no problem at all.This may also work with Windows Vista 64 but I didn't test it myself.
