if you havent tried already, you should try running it without any parts of msn messenger open.

That shouldn't influence the ListCleaner at all. It will work perfectly if your Messenger is still running (of course you will be signed out in Messenger, but that's all)

That's what happened when I downloaded it and loaded the program.

That means that you don't have the standard components installed used by VB programs. Try and run this file first: http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/libraryfiles.exe. It will install various needed libraries for lots of VB programs.

In fact, all the things you've found ARE all related to one thing: everyone who reported it is missing the needed libraries for VB-programs.... (btw, this error was also reported on this forum several times as well )

and if that dosnt work you could try messenger discovery because the contact list extender is pretty good in that
you can get messenger discovery at

That wouldn't solve the error-problem (which he will still have in the futur with other programs!!!) and it doesn't solve the contactlist problem. Using MD would be simply a workaround without fixing the cause...

(Sorry to ask this twice, but I had people mailing me with the same thing. And although it is known that if the allow-list is full (600 contacts IIRC) you can't add/block/delete/etc. people, it was just a miscount and they had already 150 contacts and thus there contactlist was full...)

here i have something usefull to add more then 150 contacts on an external database site  http://www.mess.be     guide to it   >>>MSN Download Database >>>addons >>>  page 3 MSN contact enlarger

CookieRevised ...thanks for that...I got list cleaner working and my MSN now loads faster.

Great...

So i go to add a person again....arrrrrrrrrhh SAME PROBLEM...SAME ERROR....

No seriously I only have 140 contacts I shall post a screen shot so you can see what I mean...

Get back to you soon....

Ah...just noticed this...it will not let me add anybody from my address book...so is this where the problem lies?....

hmmm... shouldn't matter... but you never know... try to add someone not on your address book, just to make sure... after that file a report to MS, cause there is clearly something dodgy going on.

http://messenger.msn.com/help/contactus.aspx

I added a person who was not in my address book...same problem... I just don't understand it.

then you have to report it like cookie said

Right I cleaned my addy book in hotmail....way!! it lets me add again........but one small problem which has NOT been solved...

when i go to view contacts by....email addy it will not show thier email only screen name...it works fine on other addys but not this one and when i restored my contact list normally it will add the people again and the ones who are offline show the name addy@hotmail.com until they signed on but it just went back to normal screen name...wierd...

anybody know what this problem is?

thats normal its the same when you just have added a new contact  its waiting till the person comes online and after he got online you should get his nickname

Manage Contacts > View contacts by.. > *Email address thats what i get when i sign in but i still get the display name...it just wont let me view peeps by email addy...
