some examples of threads which already exist about this:
Do we get our contacts back?
Connection Error
Will NOT sign in!
Live! Messenger .. lots of bugs??
Unable to load contact list
Cannot sign in and no error message?
welshboy222, you even replied on some of them, you should know better than creating yet another thread about this (and even in the wrong forum
)
To others, if you see such duplicated threads, PLEASE do not continue them, rather link to the existing ones and REPORT the thread for closure (or even better and if possible to merge to the existing one).
