Hi,
Are you running any themes? Like windowsblinds or alienware's theme pack?
This can stop you from signing in properly, this is how you fix it.

1.Locate C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Contacts.
2.Right click WLCOMM.EXE and then select Properties.
3.Click the "compatibility" tab and under "Display settings" click the check box that says "Disable visual themes". (you want a tick in this box after you have clicked it.)
4.Click "OK" and then sign in to WLM

Mmm Well if your friends account works fine on your version of messenger and yours doesnt, that means their is nothing wrong with the program, and maybe something wrong with the windows live itself. Did you have a previous version of messenger?
