Windows Live Messenger 8.0 -- sudden empty contact list (REDUX)
Hi All I think this problem has been reported numerous times in this NG. After I logged in to MSN today to my utter disbelief I found my contact list totally empty! I tried all the usual tricks being a software engineer myself. I googled, tried a few tips offered by Mr. Jonathan Kay but to no avail. When I click on Options-Privacy, the whole contact list over there is also empty (so I can't even re-add them). What is even more surprising is, if I login, add a new contact, logout and then login back again, the contact I added was never saved. It once again comes up with "There is no one in your contact list" message. I used the online meebo.com to login to my messenger ID and sure enough all my contact list turn up there just fine. Its only in my laptop this seems to be a problem. Also my wife's MSN contacts turn up just fine on my laptop. What is going on here?

Greetings,
As a "quick fix", upgrading to Windows Live Messenger 8.1 will probably fix this since the contact store format has been changed.
