    If the contacts are removed from your principal Messenger contacts list, you might still have them in the Hotmail contact list. To check this, you can log in at http://mail.live.com/ with your Windows Live ID.

    Try to reinstall the current version. If it doesn't work then, downgrade to other version and take backup or copy all contacts in the list. Again install the latest one and copy all your contact there.

    You are there in others contact list, so as soon as they start talking to you, you will be able to re-add them from the conversation window. You can also check the Allow list. Open messenger, Go to Menu =>Tools =>Options =>Privacy. there yo get two lists In the left one, there might be your contacts still. You can re-add them from there, by right-clicking each one and selecting "Add to contacts".
