Default Problems with MSN?

Anyone having issues signing into MSN at all?

Keeps telling me that my contact list is unavailable and to try again

Tried rebooting and still no joy, but strangely enough it loads fine with windows messenger but just not live messenger

Edited - Its doing it on both my laptop and main machine which are both running the same release of Live Messenger

There will be two copies of the contacts folder on your machine somewhere, you need to delete the empty one

Pain in the ass Live messenger sometimes

c drive - Users - your username - Contacts

in there will be more than one folder titled with your msn address. Delete one of them - if one is empty make it that one! If both full just delete one of them

Mine is pissing me about, it won't log me in first time and says I'm not connected to the net, then second time round it works

Also my father in law keeps trying to e-mail me but it never comes through
