The OP has already reinstalled the latest version without success. I am wondering if there is a routing issue or if something is blocking the transmisson of the data to the server.

If you look at the picture you can see that the data is being retrieved, it's just physically not displaying on the screen, it could be a transparency issue or something like that?  Look at the size of the scrollbar, it's all there....and is obviously there as she can access it via "Send a message..."

Wow how did I miss that attachment!

I wonder if the OP has a skin installed that is interferring with the contact list.

Yeah, that was my thought......either a skin or a general Messenger Plus! Live issue (perhaps transparency).....hence asking her to uninstall MP!L and seeing if it fixes it

Oh....so your contacts are all still there (as indicated by the scrollbar), just not being displayed?

If you uninstall Messenger Plus! Live do they show up again?

ANSWER: even when I uninstall Messenger Plus Live, contacts still don't show...I already tried that.

uninstall it then try to install the original wlm then write ur e-mail , password, check remember me then click sign in if there still a problem click troubleshoot and it'll search for the problem then try to repair it if u can't have a new threat and we'll sea what's the problem    hopefully it helps thnx

ANSWER: already tried that...didn't work.

NOTE: if I click on SCROLL BAR, it crashes the Messenger Live
Note2: I went ahead and uninstalled Messenger Plus Live (again) and my contacts still didn't show up and trying to move SCROLL BAR crashed MSN Live again

Do you have any other add-ons for Windows Live Messenger?

No I don't. Never had. I've been using Messenger Live and Messenger Plus Live way before the got "live"
I do have some scripts, but I already disabled them, and still no luck.

I still believe it is an update from microsoft or registry issue.
At work I have a desktop and the laptop. I haven't installed any updates to my desktop computer, Messenger Live + Messenger Plus Live works- shows my contacts. On the other hand, my laptop have all the Microsoft updates and it is the one I have the issue.

At my house I have 3 computers, all of them work just fine. I am really running out of options.

A few other things that are not working...maybe it helps, maybe not...
1- custom emoticons: I had over 300 of them and now they are gone. I did have a backup but when I want to ADD or EDIT custom emoticons, it will not let me, nothing happens (pic included)
2- about messenger: If I want to see the version of Windows Live Messenger, it won't show up (how do I include more pics?)
3- Edit Custom Emoticons thru Windows Plus Live: I get message
4- Connection Test- I get an error
5- History Conversations- nothing

did everybody give up on this?

Did you try the public beta? http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials-beta

I think the problem disappeared automatically for most. I haven't seen it appear anymore.

I would, but I don't have Windows 7... Beta requires Windows 7

I still use XP (Vista always sucked and I am not planning to upgrade my laptop to 7 anytime soon...)
