Got mail from MSN re the latest Messenger Live or whatever the **** it is so upgraded ...................................... and lost all my ******* contacts !!
They're still there in my Hotmail contacts page but how do I export them to this new messenger?
I don't want to have to manually type all the email addresses in the "add contact" option.
Any help would be great,
Cheers

Paul.

 

I upgraded from MSN Messenger 7.5 to Messenger live and had no problems

 

No problems with it here too.

 

Ditto

 

Snap, ok here

 

Under file or edit or view etc, should be an option to 'export contacts'.

Then you can save the contacts to your HD, and import them again through the upgraded version.

Except in my case SOME of the contacts have appeared and I'm getting continual connections errors... weird.

 

SOME have now appeared of their own accord

 

Is it any good/any different?, 7.5 works fine so is there any valid reason to upgrade

 

I've been running the Beta for a while now, thanks to somebody on Scoobynet

Quite like it

And as if by magic......They are all there now

 

Any benefit to switching ?

 

I had exactly the same on my work pc earlier. I upgraded from 7.5 and had no contacts anymore, rebooted and had a few contacts I went back to 7.5 after that because I couldn't be arsed fecking around and had all my contacts back.

 

Had the Beta version of Live! for ages now..... much prefer it over the older one...

 

Right I'm confused now and need help!!! Am I right in thinking that MSN 7.5 is now being replaced by Windows Live Messenger. I've just downloaded it and although I've kept all my contacts, I've lost all my emoticons? Anyone know how to get them back or should I just go back to using 7.5? (and how would I do that???)

 

I removed live messenger totally. Rebooted then downloaded 7.5 again. Once I installed it again normal service was resumed

 

since putting messanger on my PC a couple of months back it keeps locking up and i have to switch off to get it to reboot.

anybody know how i totaly remove it to see if it stops the problem before i have to wipe the hard drive and reload everything!

 

Start - My Computer - Add or remove programmes - Remove (MSN Messenger).

 

I believe this doesnt remove all of Messanger?

I want to remove as much as possible and see if it cures the problem i created when i installed it.
