I have Windows Essentials 2012 and my contacts in messenger see me as offline but we can still type to each other. When they post a comment in my messenger window it shows like an offline messege with the time above it. They are appearing online to me. This has been happening for the last few days and I have done 2 repairs trying to fix it with no luck. I am running Windows 7 if that helps. Can anyone give me any help with this?
