i dont think is there any way to get ur contacts back until and unles u import ur contact list on ur pc...
well still trying to get some solution but u have to wait.. if i find any solution i ll post it..
well i in ur msn contact window go to tools>options>privacy then there some contacts are displayed right klik on them and then add to contact list one by one the contacts u want to add....
and there is also one other way go to ur email box then go in the contact tabs then there shows all the contact u had in ur msn msnger and had contacted with mail.... welll this is usefull if u dont remmeber the id's but wen u see ur frnds id then u may get remembered......
try this and post if this is helpfull otherwise let us know then v may find some other solution....
