Fee...I've a suggestion but have never tried it. Feel free to test it out.<br /><br />Based on my understanding of what is said by the poster, it says that the contacts cached in 8.5 is not usable in 9.0.<br /><br />Therefore, the same contacts file in 8.5 remains but is not readable by 9.0 'cos of the format difference.<br /><br />You can try this:<br />1. Go to Options, Security, tick <br />"This is a share computer. Don't save my contacts..."<br />2. Log off your WLM. Untick "Remember me"<br />3. Right click tray icon (near the system clock) of WLM and Exit.<br />4. Launch WLM again and try login with your user name.<br /><br />This method should clear whatever contacts that is left.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13996324265277696775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158371733025794433.post-79610281977393968442010-01-25T10:07:45.840-08:002010-01-25T10:07:45.840-08:00Has anyone tried Ctrl-Shift-F11 at the MSN log-in ...Has anyone tried Ctrl-Shift-F11 at the MSN log-in window to delete all emails, etc. and then have them restored when you log back in? I still have my contacts when I log in via www.msn.com so the problem is probably communication with the MSN servers via the MSN program. The fix in this blog did not work for me. I have found the MSN program in all its versions to be slow, buggy, and troublesome. Problems always occur when it is 'updated'. Sometimes problems are fixed by updating Windows Live Messanger. It's only advantage seems to be having local email folders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158371733025794433.post-80653006357519175972010-01-24T13:16:08.005-08:002010-01-24T13:16:08.005-08:00Men my problem apears when I sign in on my mobile....Men my problem apears when I sign in on my mobile.
