If Wlmcomm isn't running that's the reason why it doesn't do anything when you try to sign in.

If you go to C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Contacts is the file in there?

I copied from the Windows Live Messenger that works (my desktop) folders I was missing in C:\program files\Windows live.
I only had Messenger and Mail, so I copied: Contacts, Installer, Mail and Writer (just to make sure both of my pc's were the same)
Then tried, nothing happened.
Then I ran wlarp.exe from C:\program files\Windows live\installer
Restarted my PC and worked.

Not being able to Sing in- Problem solved!!!

Back to original issues:
1- I can't see my contacts 
2- send custom emoticones.

If you sign into a Web Messenger such as eBuddy can you see your contact list?

Do you see the Messenger Plus! Live icon on the contact list window?

When I login thru eBuddy- I do see my contacts
When I login thru Windows Live Messenger from 3 other desktops- I do see my contacts

It is only the laptop that I work from and take home with that I don't see them. I think it has to do with some windows update.

I do see, have and use Messenger Plus Live. It was not working for a while (2 days) because I was trying to run Windows Messeger Live under 2000 compatability (part of troubleshooting), then Messenger Plus Live died, but I figured it out and it works. Thanks to Messenger Plus Live at least I have my contacts on desktop.

There are instructions on here for clearing out the local contact cache to get it to re-downlaod correctly:

Yes, running Windows Live Messenger in compatibility mode will prevent Messenger Plus! Live from working properly.

Did that...3 times already

Yes, I know...

How long do you stay signed in for after your contact list fails to appear?

It never does...From the moment I sign in to where I sing out, My contacts list never shows up in Windows Live Messenger.


I have two ways to see which contacts are online or not:

1-Messenger Plus Live Desktop Contacts
2-Open Messenger/Actions/ Send an Instant Message/ then I see my contacts

Oh....so your contacts are all still there (as indicated by the scrollbar), just not being displayed?

If you uninstall Messenger Plus! Live do they show up again?

uninstall it then try to install the original wlm then write ur e-mail , password, check remember me then click sign in if there still a problem click troubleshoot and it'll search for the problem then try to repair it if u can't have a new threat and we'll sea what's the problem    hopefully it helps thnx
