Another Messanger Live .. Nothing in contact list :(

ok right and this is one of the reasons why i do not normally upgrade
versions of Microsoft products for 6 months as by then it should work
straightaway.

I received an email about the latest Windows Live Messenger from the Windows
Live Team (. com)

I thought looks good I will give it a try

I downloaded the appropriate file and ran the installation program to
install all the products.

They installed starightaway with no errors so my laptop met teh appropriate
specs.

Now whenever I open my messenger window I have no contacts listed AT ALL! If
I want to change the layout IT DOESNT WORK!!! My profile picture is not
correct and I CANNOT CHANGE IT!!!!

So I cannot chat to people as I DO NOT KNOW WHO IS ONLINE!!!!!! I cannot
change anything as NOTHING WORKS!!!!!!

The help topics tell me to check the build version etc IT DOESNT WORK I
follow the Help --> About Messenger and NO WINDOWS OR POPUPS
OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am extremely ANNOYED AT THIS AND AT MYSELF FOR THINKING THAT SOMETHING
WOULD WORK ON AN INITIAL RELEASE

I would like some movement on this ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

Am running XP on SP2

If this is the problem then the pre requisites should be updated!!!!!!!!!!!
