WLM Personal Message, Screen Name, Display Picture changing back...?
Hey guys,
I am a bit stumped here, so I'm curious if there is anybody who has any ideas for me! The other day, I noticed in the evening that my WLM display name and personal message had changed; my personal message had changed to one I had set it to at one point the night before, also my name had changed to just my first name, and my display picture had disappeared as if I had not set one. I had thought nothing of it and chalked it up to a server issue....however...
It is now 3 days later and the same thing is happening? I thought maybe a bot/spyware had hacked my account, so I changed my password, and did a scan with Avast, Ad-Aware, and Malwarebytes...none of which turned up anything. I also went so far as to check off the "Use the same Display Picture and Personal Message wherever I sign in." box in the WLM options, and that doesn't seem to have done anything.
I could reinstall, but I am a bit leery of that as I have a lot of the settings personalized for my contacts and it would take forever to set them up again. Does anybody have any ideas? Is there a certain cache I could try clearing or some such, or has this same problem been happening to anybody else?
Any help is appreciated :)
EDIT - I should say I had done a search on Google and had tried a few things I had found on other forums, but usually they were for just a personal message, or just a screen name, and had to do with older posts from a few years ago, so I don't think they had any effect I should also say I have the latest version of WLM (not the Wave 4 beta; I won't get Wave 4 until it is released) and the latest version of MSN Plus and I've never had this same problem ever before and have been using MSN/WLM since 2004.
