I am having this weird probably lately.
MSN/live messenger will not show me that alot of my contacts are online. If i log off and goto another messenger account, they are online.
One of the contacts is my yahoo addy. SO i know these people just havent blocked me lol.
Now i've followed all the steps about deleting the cache file and uninstalling msgplus and everything.
I've wiped everything out, uninstalled live messenger. Deleted all the directories in the local settings\ including the temp folder.
Deleted the folders from the program files, so its nothing on my pc because ideleted them all.
downloaded the latest version of wlm and installed it, logged in
And still its giving me this problem.
I don't want to have to use another msn account instead of the one i use now because everyone talks to me on that one.
Does anyone else know how to fix this?
Btw, the steps below didnt work for me
