You would have thought that Windows would know of this problem and try to fix it.
Just need to wait and see how long it takes for them to sort it!!

Same problem with me. Exactly the same things are happening to a lot of users…
What a plage…
The odd about this problem is that if you log in using a previous version of MSN or if you use the webMessenger, both will log in as usual!!!
Besides, this is not happening to everyone… So odd..
Ow… I can`t forget to mention the fact that Microsoft is giving us no support at all concerning this problem!
I mean, this is not our problem, it`s theirs!!!!Anyway, I hope they solve this problem quickly..
I began having this problem yesterday after successfully using WLM with no issues whatsoever… now I get the “Due to a connection problem, changes you make might not be applied to other computers you use”, as well as the “Connection Error” hover message from the tray icon.
I’m on a wireless laptop connected to a LinkSys router which shares the DSL internet connection with two other PCs. I made no changes whatsoever to my laptop between the time it worked fine and when the problem began. Have any solutions arisen?
oh im sick of this, argggggggggggg
surely there must be someway to sort this, has anybody contacted msn?I’d like to add myself to the list of people experiencing this problem. Exactly the same issues, I can sign in but I get an error about connection problems and all or most of my contacts have vanished. Glad I’m not the only one.
i had the same problem. i just reinstaled WLM and my contacts came back. however im still getting the connection error and a long time to connect.
I had a lot of similar problems, and after trying to reinstall several times LiveMessenger, & having suggestions from the MSN Support team (witch unfortunately didn’t make it work better), I desintalled LiveMessenger and … reinstall MSN Messenger 7.5 froms Microsoft Download site.
All my contacts are back, no more “network” problems … Everything is perfect again !
By the way, I gave the ling to this subject/Forum to the LiveMessenger Support so that they could maybe give their solution all of you.

Just adding myself to the list of people who have this exact problem.
However, it appears the Microsoft Messenger team are now aware of this problem, and are fixing it.
Look see: http://messengersays.spaces.msn.com/PersonalSpace.aspx
ALright I found a download for the old messenger. and everything was there for the old messenger. I dont know what the problem is.
heres the link for old msn.
if anyone knows the fix for this please post.
Windows Live Messenger Contacts List Issue should be resolved at this time.
The issue was due to an ABCH server issue.
If you are still unable to see your contact list or are seeing a partial contact list, I suggest the following:Restore Windows Live Messenger client cache.
– close down Windows Live Messenger if it’s running.
– Click Start, then Run, and type the following:
%userprofile%contacts and click OK.
If nothing appears in the folder, click the Tools menu, then Options, then View tab.
– click ‘Show hidden files or folders’ and click OK.
– Once you are able to see the folders, right-click the one that corresponds to your login name choose Delete.
-Next, click Start, then Run, and type the following:
%userprofile%Local SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftWindows Live Contacts
-Remove the corresponding folder again in this folder.
-Restart Messenger and try signing in again.Regards,
Sierrapuppy 😉
