I have a similar problem. I changed my user ID to a live ID. Then I
downloaded Messenger 2009. I can see my contacts inside the window. The
problem is that they cannot see me when I'm on line, and I can't see them
either. I tried everything. Help !!

Hi JC,

This is a current problem with the ID changing -- the feature itself is broken.

To fix this, just return to the account.live.com site (where you changed it) and change it
back to the old ID. After re-signing into Messenger using the old ID, everyone will be back
online as per normal.

You can change it again when the feature is working again.
