RE: WLM 2009 Contact List issue

Uninstall WLM 2009, go to control panel, remove Windows Live Upload Tool,
Sign-In Assistant (if you have them) and install WLM 8.5 from this link:

Look, I really am annoyed at this... If anyone has any solution what s
ever I would really, really appreciate it. I have even made a ne
account and added a few amount of contacts and got a few others to ad
me as a test. So far neither have worked. The people that added me hav
and I have no invite to accept. The others haven't had an invite t
accept... This is really annoying... I need to know how to sort it ou
because I'm starting to get annoyed with 8.1 and 8.5 as they constantl
turn off at random points..

If anyone does find a solution I will be eternally greatfu

What are "8.1" and "8.5" that you refer to?
