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.

Hi everybody,

I have exactly the same problem with Live Messenger, since I … tried to delete some files & forlders related to the different MSN accout.

I have tried to remove & re-install LiveMessenger : same problem.

But I noticed that use WebMessenger, all my contacts are present. This an emercy solution, but not a solution.

I posted a message on the MSN Messenger E-mail Support, and I hope (?) an answer

Good luck,
