Primary Windows Live Messenger Thread (LAST UPDATED: 07-NOV-09)

[mmmhhh86]

For a couple days now I couldnt sign in on my Touch. I did a hard reset and installed a fixed version but when I opened Windows Live and I press on Menu I cant select "Account Options" nor "Options" so i cant set it up.. I dont know how this happened suddenly. It used to work fine. I did another hard reset without installing a fixed version and still same problem. It cant be the service provider because I tried not to connect and set up an internet connection as soon as I hard reset. This is really weird. Anyone experiencing this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I downloaded the last version of msn from here, didnt want to use the one i got on my touch because i didnt want msn contacts syncronized with my phone contacts... After using the last version of msn and a soft reset, the msn email, contacts are now syncronized in my phone contacts :s
If i delete one, it will be deleted on msn too, how to avoid this? I dont want all the contacts there...

Sorry for my english

I just don't understand this at all. All the versions posted above work like a charm for about 99% of the people downloading them. v10.6.33.0600 is being used in several ROMs without any problems.

@mmmhhh86... Try using a Wi-Fi connection and then connecting, Some of the option especially Account Options don't work until you set up the account.

@=8)...

1) Using a desktop version of Windows Live Messenger... Backup all your cotnacts.
2) On your PPC, Open Windows Live (not messenger) and goto Menu -> Options -> Sync Options -> Uncheck "Store Windows Live Contacts in your mobile phone's Contact List"

3) If it is not checked... Check it and allow Windows Live to sync all over again. Soft Reset your device and go through Step 2 again.

@qtek_metanol... Personally, I use v10.6.32.2100 since it has a smaller file size compared to the latest version and has fewer files. Bottom line is I haven't seen any differences in the latest version to switch over although I have tested it quite a bit. The lastest version could have several bug fixes but I am yet to see the official changelog from Microsoft.

Have you backed up all your MSN contacts on your desktop?

If you have... go ahead and delete them completely from your phonebook. After that try

1) Soft Reset
2) Uninstall Windows Live from your PPC
3) Soft Reset
4) Re-install it again
5) Go through the Setup process again... make sure you uncheck "Store Windows Live Contacts in your mobile phone's Contact List"

Since you have no contacts on your MSN none of them would have been downloaded into your Phonebook.

After you do this, restore all your contacts from the saved file using your desktop version of Windows Live Messenger
