hi

my messenger tab on the web keeps saying loading... and it never loads anything and wont let me change if im available 2 talk or busy or offline or not available. it just stays gray

also, the windows live essential messenger on my laptop lets me change to say available, busy, offline, or not available, but it only shows email alerts; it also won't let me talk 2 messenger contacts

any ideas on how 2 fix this?

thanks!!
