225530 2004-03-27 23:12:00 Hi folks.

I recently installed MSN 6 and deleted Windows messenger. When I go into Outlook Express, I now cannot see my MSN contacts (if they are on line or not) on the left hand side along with my Outlook contacts.

What can I do to make them appear automatically.
OS Win XP Home

Cheers Smithie

225531 2004-03-28 00:16:00 Go to View>Layout and put a tick in Contacts.

Also go to Options>General and put a tick in Automatically logon on to Windows Messenger.

225532 2004-03-28 00:51:00 Thanks Susan B

Both items you refer to are ticked. I have my normal list of contacts showing in the left hand column of O E.

Its when I sign into MSN the icons showing who is on line or not, does not appear at the top of the list of contacts as has been the case previously.

When I used Windows Messenger they appeared,but since changing to MSN the icons are not appearing. Any clues??

Thanks Smithie

225533 2004-03-28 03:55:00 If you deleted Windows Messenger AFTER installing MSN you could try reinstalling MSN again and see if that helps. tommy (2826)
