Can sum1 plz help me owt here!!

(this may have nothing 2 do with the messenger plus! extension)

OK.
I sign into messenger one day, like I usually do. And all my contacts hav gone!


instead of a contact list i get
"We could not find any contacts that matched your filter".

But, when one of my contacts was Online, they showed up.
I'm using the normal full release of messenger [NOT BETA].
With messenger plus! Live 4.70/90 {cant rememba wich one is installed}

Is there a way to hide your offline contacts?

If so, how do I un-hide them?

You probably don't have to go through all that hassle deleting those files..

Looks like you've accidentally typed something into wlm's word wheel.
Just open your contact list, find this area and delete what may be typed in it:

Try re-installing it or try the New Build plus and WLM
Or Try Messenger on a different pc
Btw ; andrey not Nandrey

Try logging into Web Messenger and see if your contacts show up there

yeah it's just my pc

Try following these steps:

To try and fix that you can clear out the contact cache as follows:
- Exit WLMessenger
- Delete the two folders corresponding with your address in the following folders:
Windows XP:
%userprofile%\contacts
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts
Windows Vista:
%userprofile%\contacts
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts

These folders may be hidden so make sure you turn on hidden folders first.

To navigate to these folders Press + R on your keyboard, then copy in the links above

Thanks, but that didn't work either
I'm running Windows XP, I did that.

Extra Note:: When I sign in with my other Hotmail Address, this does not occur.
Strange.
