Windows Live Messenger - No contacts in vista?

I install the live messenger on my computer running Vista and it was working
ok, after I had to format my HD to solve another issue, I haven´t been able
to make messenger work on vista. It always said that I have no contacts and
it mentioned a "conection problem" without any further information. I´ve been
trying to check the firewall configuration, but it haven´t solved the problem

Your contact information is held on the web not on your machine. I have
MSN Live working on Vista without a problem. Make sure your internet
connection is good and that you have entered the right username and
password.
