I keep getting this on Windows Live Messenger;

See the yellow box on WML

I don't run on more than one PC, just this one, any ideas?

That's a error box, saying that it has problems getting your contact list (or other preferences that is general for your MSN Messenger (and others, not sure)) saved on the MSN.

Nothing to worry about, it usually disappears after a time.

Oh right, I thought I might have done something

Thanks for the quick reply, it's only started appearing since yesterday.

i also get this error too.Why is this happening?And changes i do in my computer for msn wont exist for  other computers in which  i connect?

If you hover mouse over the icon it says connection error too

what do u want to say by this? i dont even have understood why this problem appears...

i have the exact thing, but i was too lazy to post it...

i just ignore it, everything works fine, i think...

Had the same problem but it looks like my nickname isn't saved at all... Quite annoying

According to Microsoft Helppage:

You can get there also by clicking on the mainwindow the text that says:
Due to a connection problem, changes you make might not be applied to other computers you use


This is the text on the HelpPage:

Send another type of message

   1. On the Actions menu, click Send Other.
   2. Click an option to send one of these types of messages:
          * An e-mail message
          * A message to a mobile device
          * A message to an MSN Direct device
          * A wink
          * A single file
   3. Click a contact name, and then click OK.
   4. Type your message, and then click Send.

Notes

    * If you are sending a message to a Yahoo! Messenger with Voice address, enter the full e-mail address.
    * You may see two entries for the same contact. This can occur when you add a Messenger contact that uses both Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. To determine if a contact is using Yahoo! Messenger with Voice:
          o Open a conversation window in Messenger. If there is a Yahoo! Messenger with Voice icon under the contact's display picture, they are using Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
          o Hover your mouse over the contact's name in the main Messenger window. If their e-mail address is followed by Yahoo!, they are using Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
    * When you send a message to a mobile device, Messenger first sends an invitation to the mobile device contact to exchange messages with you. The mobile device contact must accept the invitation before they can receive your message.
    * You can send instant messages when your contacts are offline, and they will receive your messages the next time they sign in to Messenger.
    * You can only send your offline contacts text or emoticons.

I have also the same "problem". I have 11 computers connected to the same server using NAT (Network Adress Translation) although I have Port Forwarding.

I think this is just a glitch on the Yahoo Beta stuff. If you go to the MainWindows Menu-Tools_Options and select Connection and Advanced Settings - TCP Test you can test your connections.
If it is okay it is most probably it really is a just a glitch.

yep i have this problem too, i can see just like 30 of 80 of my contacts, i hope its a server issue and can be replaced soon. i switched back to 7.5 and works fine .
