Re: i cant log into my msn -.-....

Greetings Paul,

You can start troubleshooting this by removing the locally cached store of your contact
information.

To do so, shut down Messenger and delete one of the following folders;
On XP you can find this folder at:
\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live
Contacts

On Vista, you'll find it at:
\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts

Where username is your Windows username. Additionally, some of these folders will be hidden
if browsing by default, so to see them simply press the Alt key on the keyboard in any
Windows Explorer window to bring up the toolbar, click Tools, then Folder Options, then the
View tab, and then choose 'Show hidden files and folders'. After click OK, they should appear
with the other folders.

After removing the Windows Live Contacts folder, start up Messenger again and try to log in.
