Where did the screen names go?! by faite on 07-15-2004 at 05:47 PM
Okay. So I had MSN messenger 6.2. I then downloaded MSN PLUS.
I didnt want it anymore so I uninstalled it (took too long to load and such) but before I uninstalled it I tested some things out and re named one of my contacts.
Once I had it uninstalled I re-opened my normal MSN and everyones screen names had gone and been replaced with their email addresses.
Can someone please help me get the screen names back?
I've tried to download MSN again but it simply doesnt work. Is there ANY way of getting them back? Just having the emails is highly annoying.
If you can help, I will love you forever.
