oh thanks i got it now. should have asked about that before i redownloaded amsn so many times, hahah

oh something i have just found. when I open amsn a very thin short white vertical bar appears in the upper left corner of the page, if you click on it it brings the AMSN tool bar at the top but i still dont have a contact list.  Oh and i have tried all the suggestions i have found to get the contact list to show up none of them have worked yet, so im not sure what the problem is.

no window comes up when i open amsn. I can still log in but no window comes up so i cant see which of my contacts are on line. i have tried deleting the old program and redownloading it a few times, restrting amsn and restarting the computer but the same thing allways happens.  it was fine before then all of a sudden it wouldnt bring up the window. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanx
