| Vista Home Premium 32bit. | Messenger not saving names/only showing email addresses Hi I changed my account a couple of days ago from an Hotmail.com to Live.com account, I took my Old hotmail contacts and added them to my new Live account, (I did all of this on a MAC), then I went online and everything was working fine, until I decided to log off, when I logged in again, all of my contacts names are gone and is displaying their email addresses instead, Then I went online on ADIUM and the same thing happened, only like 3-4 contacts are showing their names, instead of their email, now this only happens with OFFLINE contacts, now I know this has nothing to do with windows BUT then I tried to log in with my old computer (with Vista) and the same thing happened there, NONE of my OFFLINE contacts are displaying their nicknames, I had tried everything: History: Deleted Everything Messenger related on my Mac (including ADIUM) Saved and then Deleted contact list using Windows Live Messenger (Vista) Transferred my contacts again on Vista Moved contacts to another Group Yes, I tried the "display names" option Ok another thing I should mention is that if I sign in in my MAC or VISTA computer USING Windows Messenger then all the offline contacts that had been online DO get saved BUT it's depending on what computer I'm using, in other words the ones that are displayed on my VISTA computer won't show up on my MAC computer unless they signed in while I was using my MAC computer, this is kind of hard to explain so I'm sorry if it's confusing you. Even if I get online using, Meebo or Ebuddy or anything Messenger related it only displays email addresses. I think it's a problem with the account Please help me cause I don't know what to do anymore Thanks Last edited by Joe Kerr; 08-17-2008 at 08:10 PM.. Reason: Edit |
