Can't see contacts by likolas on 03-23-2006 at 01:59 PM

I can't see any contact anymore.

I thought it was a msg+ problem but I uninstalled it and the problem stay so it's a MSN problem.

Where's the option to see/hide the contacts in MSN ?

Ohh please, don't tell me you've installed the plus warned about in About Messenger Plus! for Windows Live Messenger (MSN 8) :(

To prevent something bad happening to your computer, NEVER download Plus! from sites other than the official one (www.msgplus.net, www.msgpluslive.net). When Messenger Plus! Live is launched, it will be available from that site . Never trust other sources.

These delete your contactlist...

Oups ! I installed 4.0.2006.0566 :| !!

But I uninstalled it and the problem is still here !

Yes, ofcourse it is still there...there is no contactlist anymore..it got deleted.

I hope you saved your contactlist before so you can import that one (Contacts > Import Instant Messaging Contacts), nothing else can be done about it.

Hi, I used to have my dashboard visable where I could just glance and see who was on-line, but now it just says "messenger" and it does not list my contacts like it used to.  I don't think I have downloaded Msger plus.  Is there another reason for this?  Does anyone know how to make my contacts visable in my dashboard again?  THANKS!

Look at Sunshines first post, you have installed a fake version of MsgPlus which is a virus and it deletes your contact list.
