    Did you delete them all and re-add them? Or have any of them been on? 'm not sure either, it's happened to me many times. And one time MSN deleted all my contacts, I had like 67 and could remember 5. :lol:
    And sometimes people doesn't change there screen name, and just keep it as the default when they get a email. (which is their address)

    Something to do with your personal options. I don't have messenger here now (I'm at school) but most likely you have something checked in your options. Go through any option menus you can find and look at each option. If you still can't get it. Add me and I'll help you w/it tomorrow night ;)

    Here's what to do:

    Click Contacts>Manage Contacts>View Contacts By>Display Name.

    That's all you do, if that doesn't work, your simply S.O.L.(#### outta' luck.)
