Well fixed it myself after waiting lol, but heres what I did.
Removed Windows Live Messenger from the computer.
If you are using XP like me Click "Start," click "Run," type "control appwiz.cpl", and then click "OK." In the list of currently installed programs, select "Windows Live Messenger," and then click "Remove."
That will remove WLM
This next step I found from several help files
Remove the temporary files and folders from the computer:
- For Microsoft Windows XP
a. Click Start, click Run, type cleanmgr, and then click OK.
b. If you are prompted, click C: in the Select the drive you want to clean up list, and then click OK.
Notes:
- If you partitioned the hard disk, the CleanMgr utility prompts you to select a drive.
- The Disk Cleanup utility displays how much disk space can be freed.
- This process can take several minutes.
c. On the Disk Cleanup tab, make sure that only the following options are selected:
- Downloaded Program Files
- Temporary Internet Files

d. Click OK two times.

del "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Contacts"
del "%USERPROFILE%\Contacts"
c. The following commands delete files related to sharing folders. Executing this command may result in deleting the files your contacts shared with you or that you shared with your contacts using the sharing Folders feature. Please create a backup of these files , if desired, before executing the next two commands.

b. Type the following commands exactly as they appear below. Press ENTER after typing each command to execute the command.
Note: In some case you may encounter the error that the key does not exist. If you have typed the command correctly, this may be because the key has already been removed earlier or does not exists on your machine.
