A friend had exactly the same problem : his account was always online even if he signed out.

I advised him to make these tips and it worked. I hope it'll be helpful for you :

  • Close Windows Live Messenger

  • Open "Start" and "Run" and write : %temp%

    It will open your temp folder : delete everything in this folder, especially the MessengerCache folder.

  • Delete everything in this folder :
    • For Windows XP :
      C:\Users\[your user]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts

    • For Windows Vista :
      C:\Users\[your user]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts

Make sure hidden files and folders are displayed ("Tools" menu,  "Folder options..." and tick "Show hidden folders and files").

Of course, I advise to clean your computer with an antivirus (Antivir is free) and Spybot or an other tool in order to make sure you don't have a virus.


A detailed tutorial is available here for french users : Réparer sa connexion MSN
