Ask your friend to try the following:

1) completely close Messenger (right click the tray icon and choose 'exit').
2) Remove the directories:
   \Documents and Settings\your_username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts\your_windows_live_id\
   \Documents and Settings\your_username\Contacts\your_windows_live_id\

Note: some directories might be hidden, so make sure you have enabled the viewing of system and hidden files in Windows Explorer's options.

It will NOT delete contacts... It will clear the contacts cache. They will all appear when you restart WLM, but will need to redownload their information again.

No it won't. It just deleted the cache.

Definition of cache:
A small, fast memory holding recently accessed data, designed to speed up subsequent access to the same data.

It's safe to delete the cache. It won't affect your contacts list and it fixes a lot of problems with contacts.
