- I have the same issue. I have researched a lot online, it would appear there is currently no fix and the only thing you can do is to roll back to WLM 8.1 or 8.5 untill this problem is resolved in a future version. - cklavenApr 22, 2009

- I have the same problem.I don't have my folders hidden anyway, so I skipped the first step :)
There is no ''Contacts'' folder at all. I even created one, just in case.
The windows messenger contacts list is intact, but I want to use msn messenger and it tells me I have no contacts, it reinvites all of them if I import a saved list and still shows I have no contacts after that.
I can see them all in my hotmail.
