Windows live messenger wont show contact images

1976kjell · 28 Mar 2011

On windows live messenger, either on the list, or in a conversation, the images of my contacts wont show. The settings is for showing the biggest image. It worked some days ago, but not now. A just contact logged on , and the image of her showed. But most of the contacts doesnt show the image. Earlier, this issue has been solved by starting a conversation, but it doesnt help now.Its the 2011-version.

Someone knows something about this issue?

Try this.
Go to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Messenger\youremail@hotmail.com\ObjectStore. Delete that folder. Here are located display pictures. Then try to sing in.

You say it worked a few days ago, have you tried a System Restore point that's just before this happened ?

As I said above,there are located display pictures.(so deleting that folder will delete and yours picture.)
Try to restore as Joan says.

Tried to restore it, but the system couldnt complete the restoring either!

An error appeared on the screen with code 0xc0000022

I tried 2 times, the strangest thing is that the clock on lower right side each time increased with one hour

And in the norton antivirus protection system, another error code apperad: 3047,53

Norton may be the reason to all of these problems

Thanks for the help, maybe I dont understand, but it was you who gave me an advice too delete the folder with the images?

Yes,to delete the images that are cached in your pc,to be cached again. I was searching on the internet and found that deleting them helped someone.
