have you installed anythin recently?
or maybe it could be a problem with the WLM servers


RE: Contact list by Daniil on 10-06-2006 at 11:16 AM

Well,
my laptop is broke and i am currently using my dads laptop
so i dont know if he did install a weird program or something
i also dont know if there is a problem with the WLM servers

is there a way to fix it?

Try Noroom's List Manager. If the contacts are still in your allow list, i'll bring back all your contacts.

And yes this happens due to a server side error


RE: Contact list by Daniil on 10-06-2006 at 11:37 AM

i cant open the file
it is saying: Component 'MSWINSCK.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

why?

RE: Contact list by MeEtc on 10-06-2006 at 11:55 AM

RE: Contact list by Daniil on 10-06-2006 at 12:02 PM

Nope still empty
except 1 which did add me a few min ago

i also contacted hotmail but they didnt reply


does anybody know a solutions?


RE: Contact list by lordy on 10-06-2006 at 12:09 PM

Well if it's empty on ALL of these different programs, it's either a server error, or your contacts have been removed (either by someone hacking into your account and deleting them, or a malicious program that was installed on one of the computers that you signed into your account from).

If your contacts have been removed, you can go through the people who have you added by going into Toole -> Options -> Privacy -> Click on the "View..." Button. You can then right click the people that have you on your list and add them individually. This is rather time consuming, but it's about all you can do...


RE: Contact list by Daniil on 10-06-2006 at 12:18 PM

Well i dont know if somebody hacked my account, but i dont think so because i just made a new password (yesterday).

If i go to Toole -> Options -> Privacy -> Click on the "View...", i dont see any contacts there.

so i dont know what happend.

is it maybe possible that hotmail made a back up of my contacts and that i can ask them if they can send me the back up?
or is it an error @ the site?


RE: Contact list by lordy on 10-06-2006 at 12:26 PM

Well, if you can't see anything on that list either then chances are it's a server error :)

And they won't reply to your email within two hours, they take a while to answer emails :P


RE: Contact list by Daniil on 10-06-2006 at 03:59 PM

Ok,
is it maybe possible that i can get a contact list from hotmail?
or how long will it take till the problem is solved, because i still didnt get a mail from hotmail.


RE: Contact list by Daniil on 10-07-2006 at 07:21 AM

The contacts are still not back
what do i have to do?

do you guys know an email of hotmail for requesting contact list back up?
or is there something else i can do?


RE: Contact list (all contacts disappeared) by Jayso on 10-14-2006 at 11:45 AM

Well - i know that if you Synchronise your contacts using the Address Book in Outlook Express on an account that is Hotmail, it will wipe your contact list (sometimes not completely)

The only way around this is to have a backup of your contact list (Contacts >> Save Instant Messaging Contacts...)

actually this happens to my friend, he uses MSN 7.0, and when he comes to mine he has like 1/15th of the amount of contacts of what he originally had.

it seems that it onlys happens on WLM
