Default Synchronize contact list in two computers


Hi everybody,

I use MSN Messenger on both my home computer and my work computer.
Sometimes, when I add an user in one of the computers, the change
doesnt get replicated to the other computer, and I am not able to see
that contact. Also, If I add a new contact, and I see his confirmation
of acceptance it in a second computer, the contact only appears online
on that computer, and not on both computers.
Im using Live Messenger V8 on both computers

Any ideas on how to fix this'?

Thanks in advance,
Dan States

Greetings Dan,

This is a bug. To fix this problem, shut down Messenger entirely by right-clicking on its
icon in the notification area and choosing Exit, then download and run this .reg file:

Then start Messenger up again and it will resync the contact list properly.
