Hi all ,
Well, have you tried removing MSN Messenger and re-installing it ?
Maybe that could be the solution to your problem.
If that doesn't work , maybe your sister hasn't logged in for about 30 days or more and then her account expired.
If that's the case , you just need to re-activate her account.
Also I would advice running a spyware ( with Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 ) and virusscan ( not with Norton or Mcafee , but use another one , or try an online virusscan ) to insure that there is not a virus on the computer.
Also install CCleaner ( Crap Cleaner ) to delete all the unused and useless data on your computer.
It deletes : Temporary Internet Files , Temporary Files , cookies , ect ...
It also scans your computer's Windows Register in search for outdated , invalid or installation/uninstallation errors and such more.
As said before , run a spyware and virusscan , or use one of the following online scanners :
TrendMicro 's HouseCall Antivirus --> http://www.trendmicro.com
Panda ActiveScan --> http://www.pandasoftware.com
or any other you might find online.
You can also do an online spyware scan as well , at the SpywareGuide ( http://www.spywareguide.com ) site.
I hope this helps you.
If not , please let me know.
Thanks.

alright my msn is just fine, well for the most part. Anyways my sister's contacts have all disappeared. They can IM her, but she can't see them online or offline. She has only one contact and that one contact is also one of my contacts(if that means anything). I recentely upgraded/reformatted my computer and harddrive. I have tried with and without a firewall...both no dice. She can see all her contacts on my dad's computer, but for some reason not on mine. Any ideas?
