Contact list

[snoix]

I just installed MSN live because my friend was saying how good it is. So I download it install it and then sign in. it all works fine.

then I look at my contact list. now at any given time i have 100+ people online.

In all of my sub catagories it only showed about 10 offline contacts on it and about 2 online contacts (some of them 0 online contacts) WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CONTACTS! I use msn for many things. I deal with alot of people all around the world and instead of picking up the phone msn is free. I dont care if this messenger shows any of my offline contacts I would just like to know i can see all of my online ones.

i tried to find the msn I used to have to download. but the only links I could find was for this stupid new messenger.

even if someone could give me a link to the newest messenger that isnt live or isnt a beta.

thanks in advanced

also thought I should say. when I hover my mouse over the msn man it says 'connection error'

and above my msn messenger window it says

'Due to a connection problem, changes you make might not be applied to other computers you use'

Hey,

I'm also having the same problem in that I upgraded as it said and when I signed into the new messanger its now only coming up with some of my contact lists.

I've tried to find msn messanger 7.5 to reinstall it but its no where on the msn.co.uk site. Can anyone please advise how to get our contact list up.

Thanks in advance

Hey,

I've got some of my contact list up on the new messanger but I havn't got them all. Have I to be patient and wait for msn to contect to the server to get all of the contacts??

Just installed WLM on both labtop and PC, and got the wierdest result.
On the Labtop I installed both WLM and MSN Plus, and everything was working fine: 6 online, 1 mobile and 43 offline users (normal)

PC: Installed both WLM and MSN Plus: 3 online, 1 mobile and 23 offline users.

Tried logging on,switching mashines, and it seems the labtop just does'nt show all users.

Checked all settings in both WLM and Plus, and it seems the same..

Any ideas ?

I'm having the exact same problem, usually I have 140ish people on my list, when I logged in yesterday (and today) I have Zero and it's also asking me if I want to allow people to send messages to my mobile device ??? (MSN is on my laptop)

I've sent in a ticket to Microsoft to see whats what but I've a feeling they've screwed something up somewhere as nothing's changed on my machine and by the look of things I'm not the only person with the problem (thankfully)

Anyone with any ideas please let us know

On a side note, I logged in with Web Messenger and all my contacts are there, so it's definetly something up with Windows Live Messenger.

I am also having the same problems. I've tried reinstalling all my msn stuff, but it did nothing. It's driving me insane!! Hope it gets fixed soon.

I too have this problem after switching laptops - I reinstalled windows from scratch and when i installed WLM - I have a very limited list of contacts and sometimes very long sign in times - I also get crashes everynow and again - whith the standard report this error to microsoft dialogue...

Has no one found a solution to this - its driving me insane...
