Try unticking "sort by group" and "show offline contacts" in the control panel (/msncontrol).

I'm not sure why this happens. Do any of your group names have unusual characters in?

Would you be able to give me the exact names of your contact groups?

You can access these by typing:

Code: Select all

//run notepad $shortfn($scriptdir $+ msn\groups.grp)
I can then fix the script so that funny characters don't lock it up.

OK - there must be a funny character in one of your groups, the script isn't even getting as far as logging the name.

Can you confirm if any of your group names contain any of the following characters?

\ / : * ? " < > |

OK - I'll have to edit the script so that these characters don't affect it anymore, could be a bit tricky mind!

A temporary workaround is to not sort contacts by group. I'll let you know when I have the problem fixed.
