Vista - WLM 2009 Impossible to add new contacts

Hi,

I ve been forced today to updrade my messenger version to 2009.
But now I can't add new contacts anymore.
They appear in the contact list as disconnected.
I asked to one of my contacts if he receives the invitation and he doesn't.
The contact does not appear either in the Privacy/Options in any list.
I cant block a contact either.
It seems the modifications made to my contacts are not saved in the distant server.

What can I do ?

Thanks all.

Same thing happens to me, I can't even see my contact list, can't add them,
but when I sign in on Web Messenger they are there. I tried so many methods
to get them back but in vain, I tried to re - add them but they don't receive
my request. I don't know why are we forced to use this version if it doesn't
work. I'd be really happy if you could help me/us with this problem. I'm
looking forward to hear from you. Thank you.

I am having the same exact problem as below. I can't see any of my contacts
and I can't add any. I import my contacts and when I try to go in and move
them to different categories, it tells me they are a non-instant messenger
contact. If I sign in on another machine everything is there. If I go to
live.com and sign on there all my contacts are there. I have tried all the
various cache clean up fixes and have probably reinstall messenger 5 times
today. Why would Microsoft force an update if they knew these were issues or
didn't have a fix that worked.
