I downloaded the new beta msn, and then I downloaded Messenger Plus, the beta version.  The problem is with my contact list.  Their names don't show up anymore, their emails do.  So if one person's name were to be "Sarah <3" it is now "sarahsemail@hotmail.com"

Does anyone know how I can fix it, it's driving me crazy, because I don't recognize who people are by their emails.

Edit:
I've tried uninstalling and installing plenty of times.

Also, that handwriting isn't available on Msn 7...does anyone know how I can enable it?

at your contact list
choose the "contact" menu
choose "manage contacts"
choose "view contacts by"
choose "display name"

Oh my gosh, I feel so silly.  Thank you all soo much!

Does anyone know how to get the handwriting?

Oh, sorry, I Feel annoying, but I have one more question...
Does the stuff plugin work with this msn?

as for handwriting, try stuffplugNG beta for messenger 7 @ http://www.stuffplug.com/SPNGMSN7.zip which include a feature to enable handwritting

get the validation code at www.stuffplug.com

Thanks!

But when I install that it says it may be very harmful to my computer...

anything with a beta tag on has the potential to be very harmful... that includes msgPlus, MSN messenger, etc.... your risk, your choice
