I had this problem and then found a solution, just thought i'd post it here 
I'm using XP so things might be different on Vista Machines.
[i]For this to work, you will need to make Hidden Folders visible, do this by opening any explorer window, ie My Computer, then click Tools > Folder Options... Click the View Tab then check "Show hidden files and folders".
Now make sure Live Messenger is closed (Exit)
Then, navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\<Windows User Name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft
and delete the Windows Live Contacts folder.[/i]
Then all should be good 
but that's only if the issue was local, my problem persist on every machine I try, so its global, something messed up on the cloud some where.
