now... no matter if it's selected or unselected... it show all the time ALL the contacts both online and offline!!!
i want to get it working like it was at the begginning: show ONLY online contacts when that option is unselected....
i dunno what i've to do get it working as before... but if i remember correctly all the problems popped out when i messed with this option:
![[Image: untitled33dp.th.gif]](http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/9216/untitled33dp.th.gif)
once i've unticked it msn lost all my groups... so i had to reorganize all my contacts.... but after that the problem started... and i can see only ALL the contacts... and not just the ones online
then scared after what happened i've re-enabled that option about "security"...
but msn still keep showing ALL the contacts... and not just the ones online
i've tried doing a system restore...
tried deleting the content of
C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Impostazioni locali\Dati applicazioni\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts
but nothing helped me...
what shall i do?
Thank for you help,
best regards
