June 8, 2009 at 9:30 am #153776daxsegaMemberNone of these things solved my problem….>.< I read the whole thread, and have this issue. I add the contact and it shows their email in my list of contacts as offline, they can talk to me only if they begin the conversation and I cannot use a webcam, send files, activitys anything. help?
June 8, 2009 at 10:48 am #153763Doris KenneyParticipantHello and welcome to BBB! Let’s start by verifying a couple of things please:
1. What version of WLM are you using?
2. Is this a WLM contact or a Yahoo contact?
3. Does this happen on all new contacts or a single contact only?
4. What operating system are you using XP or Vista?I understand this is frustrating and I’ll do my best to help you try and solve this.

I figured it out on my own just took some time, but thanks for taking the time to respond.
June 9, 2009 at 5:40 am #153775daxsegaMemberapparently this issue isn’t resolved as I tried to add someone else today and again it is having the same issue though the last contact has apparently resolved the issue at hand.
^-
if you understood that at all
First person works now
New one doesn’tIdeas? I have the latest Live Messenger.
Xp
apparently all contacts
WML contactJune 9, 2009 at 10:52 am #153760Doris KenneyParticipantIf you are also having sign in issues (as from your last post) it is possible the two are related. My guess would be the server isn’t updating your account properly and that’s why the contacts aren’t displaying and working properly.
Did this problem start when you upgraded to the current WLM or has it been going on longer? I’m going to take a look over on another newsgroup for some info, but that site is unavailable at the moment – I’m pretty sure I’ve seen other people with this issue and I’ll try to find the solution for you.
Any additional info you can give on when it started, if you’ve scanned your system for malware and/or removed and viruses lately, any system changes (updates or new programs) anything like that would be most helpful.
December 7, 2009 at 10:06 pm #153777Jamalholt14Memberive tried everything but it still dosn’t work when i add people, it says the windows live service isn’t available,
i’m using windows live messenge 9 (the latest one)
i need help >.<
+ when people add me i can accept but they come up as offline and if they speak to me i can speak back but it says click here to add to contact list, but when i click it dosn’t do anything, but when i accept on my phone WLM it works perfectly :/December 8, 2009 at 12:17 am #153764Doris KenneyParticipantIt is a known issue in this version of WLM. The only workaround at the moment would be to use your phone or an online site such as Meebo to actually add the contacts.
