RE: Unable to load contact list Use another messenger client. Either 7.5 or Windows Gaim and get back to Msn Live when MickeySoft have fixed this problem.
RE: some contacts missing I had to stop using Msn Live today. Impossible to get all if any contacts visible. I'm currently using Gaim until Mickey$oft fix their Live servers. And yes, I have tried deleting my "cached" buddy list on my Windowz computer.
