I seem to be gettin' a lot of MSN related problems lately,
take a look at the attached image...

Thats all the blocked contects i "had" on the contact list and now they are tryin' to get back at me!

i clicked "Cancel" first, but didn't help, so i tried "OK", and it still didn't help.
i even re-booted my PC , they still keep comin back everytime i sign in.

how can i fix it?

Try set em all to "block this person...", then click "OK".

Cancel does nothing (besides making that popup dissapear), it makes em pop up again next time you log in. Clicking "OK"  without you changin it to "block" should put them in the allowlist and contactlist again.

If the above doesn't work i advice a reinstall/repair of MSNM. If still no avail: a clean install of MSNM.

To do that:
- Uninstall MSNM
- Reboot
- Remove all folders in Program files folder pointing towards MSN Messenger
- Reinstall MSNM (maybe even redownload a fresh installationfile before reinstalling).

Edit: you're welcome

By the way, im using all win (pro) update's and latest version of MSN Messenger and Plus!

Hmmzz, might need some listcleaning then.

Get Noroom's ListManager
It could be your allowlist is too full, this program will help you clean all possible lists (f.e. people still in your allowlist that aren't on your list and who have deleted you from theirs).

This can happen when you delete a contact off you block and delete someone off your contact list, and then they can constantly add you. Just keep them on your contact list as blocked, this way they can't do this.

Just cancel all 42 of them, then leave him on your contact list blocked. They won't be able to come back.
