Solved: Windows Live Messenger. ONE Contact shows offline

[Nonameman]

Confused person here. I have one contact who shows as offline when online when all the other contacts work properly. When I set this contact up I got the "You have entered an IM address that is not valid" This is the email address and yet we can exchange messages. Anybody got any bright ideas please?
