Everyone who has an problem with the connection with live messenger and they cannot see the contacts  try this ( it works for me)

Close msn messenger (use task manager to make sure)

Delete these folders



(!! warning!!)

(!! your profile, winks and all the personal settings and data will be lost!!)



1) C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Contacts
2) C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp\MessengerCache
3) C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\"

make sure that these folders are deleted "contacts" "Messengercache" "msn messenger"


After that, start msn messenger and sign in, all your contacts should get

Back from the server again.

I don't think that this is problem is easyli fixed.
I am now running WML and MLP on different accounts on 4 computers where two of them have Y!M (Yahoo Messenger)

The only computer where the error is not showing up is the one that have WML v8.0.0792 (Without the latest version that strangely has the same versionnumber, i.e. Y!M support), MLP v4.0.0.235 and no Y!M accounts and no Y!M installed.

Many says "Eureka, now it is working again"

My findings is that the error is very random. Sometimes it works and sometimes not.

Just take it cool, Microsoft will probably fix it in due time.

Believe me it works

I have this from the microsoft live messenger forum itself
so they will know what they are dealing with

A friend of mine tried it and it worked!

heyy it worked.....
at first it took sometime to log in..but when i got signed in....theres no more connection error..could see all my contacts
you rock man..thankssss

The last 11 hours I have had no more errors. Seems that MS has solved that problem. New problems now is that there is no "Away" or other messages from Y!M. Not are the Emoticons visible anymore, just the text for the Emoticons name.
But they are just Betas so I don't care anymore....


Just found out that the Emoticons from MS is working but not the ones you added yourself from the (Quick Icons).

I STILL haven't got my entire contact list back. And when I try to add people, it tells me that they're already on my list so I can't add them. What is going on?
