Actually deleting contact cache causes this problem occurence. I don't call this as a problem because this is WLM's special behaviour. While using WLM, contacts' names aren't stored at the server, but they are kept at computer's cache (of course if user keeps cache; you can find the related option in Options of Messenger>Security>"This is a shared computer, don't store my address book..etc. here"). So deleting and/or not keeping cache causes this issue.

That's completely incorrect :-/. First and formost, deleting the contact cache doesn't "cause" any "problem". That's why it's a "cached" folder with "cached" files. The information inside these "cached" folders came from the MSN servers, where your information is stored in the first placed :-/. Your theory would be the same as saying, "Deleting IE's cache would cause "problems"". When in all actuallity, it is very "healthy" to delete you cached folders. That way they're updated with fresh files from servers :).

I explained the same thing before and some people rejected, it is here: WLM don't update server for contacts' display names You can try my statements, it is free.

The reason why your posts are "rejected" is because they contain false information, just like your post above. :rolleyes:

So before you go on trying to prove something wrong, make sure you know what you're talking about
