O.P. Half of the msg contacts are gone in WLM 9.0 beta
Hi,

I installed Windows Live Messenger 9.0 beta today, after having used 8.5 in the past. It's a beta, I know, but this seems like a serious bug for beta:

Normally I have about 1100 contacts in my msg list, but as soon as I started using 9.0 the total amount of contacts have dropped to 640. The rest seems to be vanished miraculously.

Just for playing safe, I made a back-up of my contacts from 8.5, before installing 9.0. But wen I wanted to import this back-up in 9.0, I got the following message:

quote:
There are no new contacts in this file.

Microsoft provides a possible solution for this problem on their troubleshooting webpage. Unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem even though I did exactly what was explained :S.

What am I to do? For the record, I'm using:

Windows Live Messenger Beta
Version 2009 (Build 14.0.5027.908)
On Vista

Could someone explain to me what is going on and how I'm able to retrieve my contacts in WLM 9.0? I'm lost...

Thanks in advance for your help
