The personal message of my contacts doesn't update now. I've tried to shutdown and re-install every applications that could've interfered with the update, and everything is fine until I install Messenger Plus.

I think we've got a bug with Messenger Plus blocking the personal messages of our contacts.

Messenger Plus! shouldn't cause this .
Try clearing your contacts cache, it might solve it .

Exit WLM and delete the two contact caches (folders) corresponding with your

    %userprofile%\contacts
    %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts
    (fastest way to get there is to go to start > run..then type in the folders as i put them above)

    After that restart WLM and sign in again...now note that first sign in might take a little longer as WLM will have to get your contactlist from the server. How long it takes depends on the number of contacts you have on your list.

I will try that if i can't get it working now, but I'll tell you all the step that I did before posting.

Closed Zonealarm,
Close AVG
Uninstalled Messenger Plus
Uninstalled Windows live messenger

Reinstalled Windows live messenger

Restarted Zonealarm

Restarted AVG

Reinstalled Messenger Plus
The personal message stopped updating.

But after some investigation (and after posting) I've realized that the problem was ZoneAlarm. Maybe the IM encryption, but im not sure. Anyone had the problem ? Anyone can help ?
Sorry for the post on the forum.
Keep up the good work, I love this software and I use it since the beginning (almost). My first logs date are  2003-02.

Ah ZoneAlarm . Try this fix
