Chatlogs gone after changing Live ID by 3vil-GoOfy on 04-03-2008 at 04:35 PM

I have a very annoying problem.
A week ago I changed my Live ID. The change of it went fine, but the only thing is that my chatlogs for my contacts, for the last half year are gone.

I don't know if you can find them somehow, but I have been looking for a very long time.

So can anyone tell me how I can get them back or find them?

They probably are still around, just maybe not viewable from within the log viewer. Chat logs are stored, by default, in My Documents\My Chat Logs\ Take a look in that folder, and see if you can find the logs

Can't find them.. Only the one that was made right after I changed my ID..

I got some REALLY old ones, but thats not them..

It's like it viewed the chatlogs before, but didn't kept them in .txt format

Are you talking about Messenger Plus!'s chat logs or Windows Live Messenger's message histories? WLM stores them under "My Documents>My Received Files>your email>History". Note that it seperates them by email address so you may find those in your previous address' folder if you are talking about WLM message histories which I would like you are
