Text messages goes into a "loading" state when trying to view them.

[DarkTempt]

Hi,

Can someone please help me with this issue I'm having? Whenever I try to read a text message for this one contact, it goes into a "loading" state and never loads. I'm able to send a text to this person, but unable to go into my sent inbox as well. This only happens for one contact. I'm not having any trouble with any other contacts.

I've tried deleting this contact fully as well as all associated test messages, then re add. Still getting the same thing. The only thing that seems to work is installing an SMS app from the market (handcent or chompSMS). While these two app does allow me to view the sent and received messages as well allow me to send messages, I would like to be able to use the stock app for this contact just as any other contact. Any help would be nice. Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I've tried both solutions, but to no progress. I did lose all of my messages though. That I'm not too worried about atm. Anything else that may help?
