What is wrong with Windows Live Messenger 9?
January 16, 2009
I download the latest update of windows live messenger from the official website and I have a problem, it takes a long time to sign in and when it eventually does my contact list is missing. I try to import my contact list from file and it won’t work either, I can’t even re-add people. I looked on the Microsoft website for help and it says to clear your contacts folder which I have done and still no luck. If I revert back to 8.5 my contact list is there so its not my PC. Shoddy work Microsoft why don’t you test it fully before releasing it? I know I am not the only one as a google search showed other people having the problem, I expect this from the BETA version but not the final. If anyone can solve my problem please comment on this blog, thanks.

I just came across a great plugin for most internet browsers called Cooliris (formerly known as piclens) basically it gives you websites images and videos in an 3D interactive full-screen slideshow. I especially like this plugin as I can view my flickr photos and other peoples very easily and quickly in a smart fashion, youtube videos also work great on it to. There are many sites supported, click here to see it and get it for yourself.
