Messenger Plus! Live - the Windows Live Messenger Extension

Hey guys,
I got the error 8e5e0152 when i try signing into windows live. I've tried deleting the contents in the windows live contacts but one folder won't delete or cut. When i try to delete or cut it says the folder is being used in another program even though i have everything closed. I can sign in on my other msn but i cant on my main
Please help

Thanks .

Try re-starting your computer and then close all instances of WLM (including background processes) before trying to delete the contacts folders

That seemed to work fine, thanks alot
Also another way to fix it apparently is too make a new user on your computer, my friend tried it and that worked too.

Thanks

Yes, of course that will work, but you should realy not do that! eg: formatting your hard disk will remove the contacts cach folder too for that matter...

Anyways, the folder was in use because you still had Windows Live Messenger open, or one of its components were still running, that's all.

To properly reset the contacts folders you need to follow the proper instructions. These can be found on http://help.live.com/help.aspx?project=WL_Messengerv9

You can also go to this help by simply clicking the "Help > Help topics" menu in Messenger.
