MSN 6.1 List problems

[Bryan]

Okay, so whenever I sign on using MSN 6.1 for XP, my
contacts list shows everyone as online, like the MSN
symbol is green (online), and not red (offline). I've
tried uninstalling it and deleting it from the registry,
then reinstalling it, but it still does the same thing.
Does any one know how to fix this or what's causing it?
Any info is appreciated, thanx

Greetings,

Have you updated your video drivers recently (from WindowsUpdate)? If so, what you're
seeing is a bug within those drivers, to correct this, you can either "roll back" the
drivers you installed or install an old version of the drivers from here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/pc_winxp-2k_45.33.html

To "roll back" the drivers, click Start, then Run, type "devmgmt.msc", click OK, then
right-click your video card, choose Properties, then Driver tab, and choose Roll Back Driver
to go back to the previous version.
