Uninstall/ReInstall Messenger

[Otto Moehrbach]

My messenger system still references my old email address and I see no way of changing that. I can send messages OK but that reference is still there. Do I have to Uninstall/Reinstall. If so then my question is how? I see, under Control Panel - UnInsta
ll Components that I have a listing for MSN Add-In For Window Messenger. If I delete that, how do I reinstall that. With the original XP CD? Does the original CD setup have a line item for installing messenger? Thank you for all your help. Otto

Thanks for your help but I have to show my ignorance here. My problem
is with Windows Messenger and how to uninstall & reinstall it. I don't know
how this relates to Passport. Thanks again. Otto

Hey Jonathan,
I am working with Otto on this problem. Let me try to restate our
difficulty. We both want to communicate using Windows Messenger (WM). His
version appears to be working OK. On my machine, I have an old version of
his e-mail (ottomnospam.att.net). I can't seem to delete it. Eventhough I
also have his new e-mail ), his chats come in
through his old e-mail. How can I delete his old e-mail and how can I make
his new e-mail work with WM as it used to? I will be glad to phone you if
you are willing to share your number.
Thanks, Jim

Greetings Otto,

If you just want to remove Passports saved, you can do so by clicking the Start Button, then
click the Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account
name, and then on the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network
Passwords'. In the window that opens, you can remove accounts by clicking the passport you
wish to delete [denoted by (Passport)], and then click the 'Remove' button.

For more detailed instructions and screenshots on this procedure, see here:

If you wish to change the saved Passport, click Start, then Control Panel, then User
Accounts, click the current Windows XP account that you're logged in under, then click
"Change my .NET Passport", choose the "Use a Different Passport" button) and go through the
wizard.
