As Animal said, remove Messenger Plus! 3.63.

Messenger Plus! Live for WLM will be here soon

You don't need to remove 3.63.148 at all. In fact it was especially designed for it to run along side WLM (and/or with Plus! Live) and MSN Messenger 7.5.

The only true fact is that 3.63.148 will not hook into WLM; it will only hook into MSN Messenger 7.5 or lower. It does not interfear with WLM at all, in fact it reconizes it (but thus, it doesn't hook).

After restarting between installs, the WLM worked for a while.

However, once it did work, i had this problem:

Upon signing in, my contact list is empty. It says, "Your contact list doesn't have anyone on it. Click the Add button to start creating your list."

Above this under the "Find Contact Or Number.." bar, there is a message that reads, "Due to a connection problem, changes you make might not be applied to other computers you use."

If anyone has any idea on how to fix this, i would appreciate it.

Thanks.

That's quite normal and how WLM now works if there are problems with getting your contactlist from the servers.

WLM uses a locally cached contactlist whenever it can't connect to the servers to get your contactlist.

Since, apparently, you didn't have a locally cached contactlist (yet), nothing is shown. If contacts would have been shown, any change to the contactlist will only be stored locally on your computer. It will only be send once WLM can connect back to the servers. Hence why it says that any change will not be applied to other computers as long as there is no connection.
