O.P. Contact list not loading & convo
Hey

I was just wondering every time i log in on WLM it dosent load my contact list up fully. I sign in then out again numerous times and every time i do the amount of people online reduces or increases.Then after canceling it of my tool bar and several attempts of signing in and out it finally works.Ive tried un-installing it of my computer no luck..I'm just wondering is it my computer or the programe.Please get back to me ASAP. Also the things which i write or my freinds they dont register and my freinds cant see half of the things i type..Sum1 help please :):)

C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Messenger\

C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Messenger\
C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Contacts\
C:\Windows\Temp\MessengerCache\
The contacts cache is the one in bold, but it won't hurt to remove the other directories as well.

Find the folder named Contacts in the abovementioned location (the one in bold) and delete the whole folder. That location is only for in Windows XP. If you have Vista, I'm not sure what the equivalent folder location is.

To delete the files that have your contact's temporary info, maybe they're broken and are bugging your WLM contact list

go to those addresses above in explorer, and just follow the instructions, including "deleting your contact cache folder."

for vista:

C:\Users\Your username\Contacts\your live id  <<contacts cache

for XP:

C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Contacts\

Deleting that folder won't make nothing crash... just will delete al your contacts information, that will be syched again when you log in.
