Messenger 8.5 Sharing Folder

When I try to create or open a sharing folder I've got always the following
message : "Your sharing folders aren't available. Please try again in a
minute"
-In the "Options" dialog in "Sharing Folders" the list "All contacts" on the
left is empty.
-In C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Messenge r I tried to delete
all files and subfolders, and messenger re-create correctly all the
directories tree.

I think I've got the bug since I had installed Live Messenger beta 2 en-us
I use a french Vista Premium 32bits and live messenger 8.5.1288.816 (beta
2) en-us

Any idea, why it doesn't work ?

perhaps your hard drive is still in fat32

XP can work on fat32 but ntfs is better and shared folders
seem to care about the filesystem (something that is very odd and worth a
pie in the face for the developers).

so check the filesystem of your hard drive
