| | Re: My contact appears offline when really she is online Greetings, This could be a whole bunch of reasons for this happening, some possibly controllable and some not. What I suggest you do, at least to test and a possible workaround, is just to use Skype instead for voice capability. http://www.skype.com -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Vlad" <Vlad@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F0464F82-B355-4A55-AA51-20438E5C6598@xxxxxx Quote: > Please help me..my gf lives in UK and when we used MSN IM we could talk on > cam and mic and all of the sudden i appear offline to her and she appears > offline to me when really both of us are online...please help..today she was > "online" again yet my msn im showed her as offline and we cant talk > -- > Life is hard |

| | Re: My contact appears offline when really she is online Hi, so you are saying to get another way to chat with people on your contact list? I've never had this problem before until recently. Now I'm never sure if I am online or offline to the people on my list. Is there no way to correct this issue?
