Hi all, Has anyone experienced the sudden loss of all your contacts when using Messenger? I've been using Messenger for the past five years, with no problems, and now today, I signed in, and guess what happened? All my contacts are gone, and Messenger reports that due to a connection problem, any changes may not apply to other computers, or something like that. This is devastating news for me, and now I don't know what to do. I've tried all possibilities, to the point of recovering my laptop, and still no luck. I use a LAN internet connection which requires proxy authentication. This issue has only just happened. Thanks for help regarding this serious issue. -- Christopher Hallsworth chrishallsworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
