Messenger NOT in Contacts anymore

[Ken]

"OE = Outlook Express"

I actually like seeing the list of MSN Messenger contacts
in my OE contacts list while OE is open.

I removed Windows Messenger 4.7 because I like the
options of MSN Messenger 6.2 better.

Now, my Messenger contacts don't show in OE contacts. I
have to have MSN Messenger open to see who is online.

Anybody know how to fix it?

I removed OE and reinstalled it.

Greetings Ken,

Unfortunately there's nothing to fix here -- by design MSN Messenger does not integrate with
Outlook Express and there is no way to restore this functionality.

If you want to have this functionality specifically, you'll need to reinstall Windows
Messenger and use that instead.
