im using windows live messanger (the newest one with vista style layout)

the problem is... my contacts are reporting that my status is offline

ive tried the following but to no avail:

signing out then in

turning off the pc then restarting

changing my status to busy/other status then reseting it to online

re-installing MLmessanger

turning off my router and fully rebooting my PC

not going on msn for 30mins (as recommended by windows)


I am currently contacting windows and more specifically, the Windows Live support team
