I'm sorry but can you explain more clearly what you've done, what you are trying to do and if you get errormessages?

Do you mean the contacts in the main messenger list that are displayed with the green 'people' icons?

When you want to save your contact list in a file to use in another account, do the following:

  1. In your account containing the contacts you want, go to Contacts > Save Instant Messaging contacts and save the file somewhere you can remember it.
  2. Now, log off in Messenger and sign in with your new account
  3. Once you're signed in, go to Contacts > Import Instant Messaging Contacts... and browse to your saved file. Click Open and you're contacts will be added to your new account! :)
    [/list]
    As you see, you even don't need Plus! for this. You only need Messenger Plus! if you want to export your Plus! settings to another computer. ;)

I'm sorry but you can'save contacts with msg plus...only with messenger itself (contacts > save contacts). What you saved with msg plus are preferences, like custom names etc. and you can load them the same way as you saved them (plus > preferences ..save/load at bottom left).
