Hi, I asked yesterday, but for some reason I guessed it got overlooked. A friend of mine using windows messenger is encountering the following. They can currently instant message their contacts that show on line. But they can not add contacts, delete contacts, block contacts or unblock. They always get a message saying that they must try again later. They've tried uninstalling and reinstalling a newer version of windows messenger, and they still get the same problems. Any messenger whizz kids out there that may have some idea on what they need to do? Any assistance much appreciated. Colin F
