For the moment I can only assume it's the same server glitch which occured back when Windows Messenger 8.0 was released in it's beta stage, where I was forced to reinstall the client. I have tried that, but it has not worked for me, however, my client is not remembering certain settings I have been consistantly applying. All I can do is add people, but I cannot delete them, so what im going to attempt to do is access hotmails website and delete you manually to see if a connection can be established. If that fails, I am going to try MSN on a different computer/laptop or use a proxy to access the server.
