How can i search for a person that I know is on Windows Live Messenger?  All I know is their profile name but not the email address except that it was a hotmail.com address.  I have no other way to get in touch.  I can not restore them from the 'restore contact page' as it is past 30 days.

Hello everybody,
so it's the first time i come across a problem like this.
i got myself a new phone with Android 2.3.6 installed on it,i installed the HOTMAIL app and it apparently synced with my Hotmail account and my windows live messenger 2011.
 all was fine till i for some reason started deleting the only_e-mail based _contacts on my SIM contacts list( i thought why are those e-mails showing on my SIM contacts list where it should only be containing number-based contacts).
i sign in to windows live messenger on Windows 7 after a while and all of a sudden no contacts showing on my messenger list!
i tried several approaches but to no avail:
first of all,i tried re-adding contacts on messenger one by one. it added them back but, unfortunately the next time i signed in i had a void contact list ! .(did this multiple times )
i then went for deletion of the contacts cache as suggested in some threads but it didn't work for me.
i also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the windows live essential 2012 and still no use.

can you please help me figure this out.

Technical info: windows 7 ultimate 64-bit, windows live messenger 2012.
It says the application failed to start because its side-by side-configuration is incorrect . Please see the event log for details.
I am running Windows Live Messenger on Windows 7, and I have no sound.

When I go to the sounds section in options, it shows that I can mute all sounds, but the section underneath (messenger sounds) is completely blank!!

Please help!

Starting today I can't sign into Windows Live Messenger.  I have 3 ID's and can't sign in with any of them.  I can use the Web messenger through my Hotmail accounts, but can't sign into Messenger.  I get the error code 81000490 and I have followed every direction in this forum and I'm still unable to sign in.  I've installed and uninstalled several times and it still doesn't work.  In some of the directions the options I'm supposed to be looking for don't even exist.  I have Windows 7 Pro and the version of Windows Live Essential is 16.4.3503.728.  I'm not being blocked by a firewall and I'm not being blocked by my Antivirus software. Often when I try to sign in none of the links work.  I have internet connection.  The only messages I get are that I'm not connected  to MSN and that error code.  I need help please, I'm pulling my hair out here.

Thanks, Lauren
