Thanks. Now not accusing anyone, but if you could just verify websites before posting that would truly help, especially for new users.

Somebody posted a link to a website regarding this though, I think it was something like www.oldversions.com. Download the MSN messenger 8.5 and you'll be the same as we were a few days ago. I've installed it myself off there yesterday and all is good now.

Thank you Peter.  I've switched off all that junk now, and indeed my
contacts still are all showing as offline.  This is really bugging me,
will have to do some googling and see if anyone else has the same
problem.  Although from what you're saying about the accessibility of
this latest version, perhaps it doesn't matter anyway since chatting
wouldn't be as smooth as before.

Catherine, you should be in the list of contacts as soon as you move to
messenger. Just use up and down it will say whether they are away or online 
etc.
You will know if it's the latest version as by default that has favourites and groups at the top of the contacts list so keep arrowing down. To turn the favourites and groups thing off go to the tools menu, choose options and then press SHIFT+TAB until you get to the list of tabs. I think the one you will land on first is 'Personal'. Use the up and down arrows to move through the tabs until you get to 'layout'. Then tab through and uncheck the option to show favourites, and the other option to show groups. Then go back to the list of tabs by shift tabbing again, and move to 'General' and in there you can choose the startup options I think. I always remove the check box for it to show 'Windows Live Today' which is like a web page it brings up when you 
log on and is really annoying.

Hope that helps.
it's a shame you never got to try the last version because it is so much more accessible than the lastest version. For example it doesn't read the 
messages received by using the ALT+# to repeat the last 10 received
messages.

problem


Hi Peter and all,

I've now upgraded to Windows Live Messenger and think I'm getting the
same problem with all my contacts appearing offline even though
they're online.

But to be sure - could anyone tell me how to move around Windows Live
Messenger?  Whereabouts do you find your list of contacts and whether
they're online?  I've just installed it so I assume it's the latest
version...

Hi, a few days I ago I would have definately said upgrade as the benefits 

of
windows live messenger to those of windows messenger which comes with XP 
are
quite big.
However recently Microsoft released v9 of messenger which at the moment 
doesn't seem full accessible and can be annoying to owrk with. It is
usable
with pracitce.
If someone has a link to the Messenger v8 I'd be interested to have it 
for
my installation of Windows 7. The only problem might be that the
installers
for Messenger download the software once the installer starts, so no
matter
what link we ue, it might install the latest version. I'm not sure
though.

Hi,
No I'm using the Windows Messenger 4.7 that's been on my xp system for 
ages.  It was fine until the last week or so though.
But perhaps I should upgrade and see if that makes a difference. How 
do I go about upgrading?

Hi.

Are you using the latest version of messenger IE Windows Live
Messenger?
I
believe the version that originally ships with XP is now no longer
supported
or usable.

Hi,
Every time I sign in to Windows Messenger it says none of my contacts are online, though I know they are; their messengers say I'm offline, though I'm signed in. Has anyone else ever experienced this problem? I recently changed my passport e-mail address, don't know if that's 
anything to do with it, but don't know what to do...
