Not all contacts displayed by smilinguk on 11-19-2006 at 03:57 PM

Hi there!!
I have Live Messenger 8.0 (Build 8.0.0812.00) but I tried with several versions and I get on having this problem.

basically in Web MSN I have 88 contacts. When opening any MSN version, the software does not recognize/show the last added contact (around 15). If I try to add a new one (which has already been authorized in WEB MSN) it adds it up and then says: xxxx@xxx.com is not in your contact list. Click here to add him or her now...I click on it and nothing happens.

I cannot see if this contact is on or offline but can chat with him/her if he/she starts the conversion...

Very silly!

solved with this trick

Fix

Delete you handshaking policy cache:
Exit Messenger completely (this means right clicking the Messenger tray icon and choosing Exit).


Open your registry editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe) and navigate to:
   for Messenger 8.0: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
   for Messenger 8.1: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live\Communications Client


Once there, you must remove the following subkeys:
   for Messenger 8.0: Policies
   for Messenger 8.1: Shared


Close your registry editor and restart Messenger.
