I think you may have found the answer. I've completely deleted all my Hotmail contacts, sorted out my Outlook address book and online contacts and reimported contacts to Hotmail. So far all seems to be going well.

Thanks.

The problem seems to have something to do with the changes made to MSN Hotmail... with the new changes, your Windows or MSN Messenger Contacts are automatically added to your Hotmail Contacts and your Hotmail Contacts are automatically added to your Messenger Contacts... check your Hotmail Contacts to make sure that you don't have any duplicates listed there.
