Im just back.Thanks again for the help. Was annoying me for ages.
The thing ran for litteraly 2 seconds and it was fixed

The .pls script still does not help me....I cannot edit my contact list by any means...I am sure, however, that it is not my computer's problem as it happens from anywhere I log in. I think that someone from MSN should give some answers on when this problem will be solved...or give solutions THAT WORKS!

Hehe.

Yeah, I've tried that several times and found out that, although I have MSN Live version 8.0, I do not have the Policies key in my registry. I, however, have the Shared Key under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsLive\CommunicationsClient. Deleting that having closed the messenger and then restarting it does not make any difference

Fix

Delete you handshaking policy cache:

   1. Exit Messenger completely (this means right clicking the Messenger tray icon and choosing Exit).

   2. Open your registry editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe) and navigate to:
         for Messenger 8.0: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
         for Messenger 8.1: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsLive\CommunicationsClient

   3. Once there, you must remove the following subkeys:
         for Messenger 8.0: Policies
         for Messenger 8.1: Shared

   4. Close your registry editor and restart Messenger.

I have the same problem on MAC... does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? ^^'

Wow for a mac I'd have no idea.

Maybe join the Dark Side and use Windows and throw the Mac thru a window?

Just Kidding

does this work if my contacts dont update?
