I've found the contact folder but it's empty.

I'm sorry that I didn't check it out myself before posting, it only had the sharing folder for me too.  Instead I found the folder i the same place as SandraK

Then go into the folder with your email address.  There are 2 hidden folders in there that you delete instead of the ones in my earlier post.  These files and folders then will be replaced next time you sign in.  I have even done this myself to make sure that it works.  I found that it was a bit slow to sign in but I had that kind of thing yesterday and it has been recorded in another thread, I just restarted my computer and it signed in nicely with all my contacts there.

After WLM logged me in after 10 min I havn't got any contacts I hope this is fixed soon.

This is weird. My mate is having this problem. And we're both having these problems:

I think it is safe to say the problem is on their (Microsoft) end.

Use another messenger client. Either 7.5 or Windows Gaim and get back to Msn Live when MickeySoft have fixed this problem.

I don't evan have the local settings folder! Hope They sort it soon lol.

I'm having the exact same problem as well. But this only happened after I installed Messenger Plus...Don't really know where the problem is.

I just logged on and my entire contact list was completely erased...So I tried to add them again and it said that I couldn't add this particular contact because they were already in my list.

So MSN recognises my lists but doesn't display, and now I can't talk to anyone. If ANYBODY has a solution to this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Please search the forums before making threads and/or posts.

Also if a thread is linked to for having the same issue, post in the original thread (or suggested thread) instead of continuing in the new thread.

There are already gazillion threads about this issue
