Hi

I have a problem that's driving me nuts
I use msn live on 3 computers and the problem is when I block someone on 1
Pc and log on to another the blocked contact can still message and see me as
online
But on my msn the contact icon has the red circle and is offline. Now when I
right click the contact the option says block contact when it should say
unblock contact.
This is driving me mad as there are times when I need to be line for example
at work and I have blocked contacts messaging me
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing
I am certain this happened from a recent update that I did

my version number is 8.0.0812.00


Please help
Thanks in advance

Tools>Options>Privacy. Find the contact you've blocked in the list, then
reinstate him/her. Once that's done, reblock him/her and when asked, say yes
to the next question. Can't remember what it is exactly, but it will let you
say the contact can no longer see you on line or contact you.
