I've been having so many problems with my MSN recently.

First, I couldn't sign into my @live accounts for ages.

Then, when I eventually signed in, it shows my contacts as offline, when they were actually online.

Then, all of my messages wouldn't sent to anybody for AGES.

And now, I keep having the problem that some people do not see me as online. I talk to people, and they ask why I am appearing offline, when I'm not even appearing offline. Anyone else had this problemm??

Please helpp

Did you try doing a clean uninstall and then re-install MSN? Also disable all scripts if you have any and see if that works.

Tried both of them. Didn't work

About the fact that you don't see them online. That is because they may have blocked you.

Nope, it definatly wasn't that.

I should have had 40-50 contacts online, and it only showed up with about 5 and I knew that some of them were definatly online.

Are you sure they haven't blocked you? If they did, then it doesn't matter if they are online as you will see them offline.

100% sure. I don't think I would have had about 50 people suddenly block me lol. And I could still talk to them using offline messages.

Sign into a Web Based messenger see if your contact list loads correctly. If it did it may be a corrupt local file on your harddrive.

MY contacts list is fine now, its just that a few people (two people the other day, and one person for a few days) can't see  me as online, when I am actually online. If it was a file on my harddrive, how could i fix it?
