Windows Live Contact Help.

Uhh, so not too long ago, I upgraded my Windows Live messenger to MSN Plus.. (Kind of like an add on) and everything was alright. I changed my skin, went offline, and went to sleep.
The next day I came on I lost my contact list... I'm not too sure about what happened, but I have no contacts now.
So yea... I need help. Badly. T__T

use pidgin instead. There's something wrong with MSN and it doesnt retrieve your contacts, but pidgin can.
