you could try to install a second messenger into a different directory
(create a new one ;example" C:\program files\MSN 7 ) and sign in with your 2nd passport. I can't gaurantee it but thats what I do with my Opera browser (1. for research/browsing 2.nd for programs/newsgroups) -- Brandon Dub., TO canada, Shell ''explorer'' " wrote: Hi all, I have a question.

Greetings,
That won't work -- Messenger looks for itself when it starts and simply opens the run running -- even across multiple versions. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.

Greetings,
Unfortunately Messenger itself doesn't provide a way to do this. However, what you can do is use an official "polygamy" patch. One of the most popular ones is A-Patch (note it also provides a number of other options too): http://apatch.ikhost.com/downloads.php -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.

I wasnt aware you could do that, good to know..
However I successfully started messenger 7 and 8 beta at the same time. I have only 1 passport so I logged off one as I signed into the other but you could have them both running at the same time since msmsgs and msnmsngr have different names and running processes. just FYI. -- Brandon Dub., TO canada, Shell ''explorer'' "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: Greetings, Unfortunately Messenger itself doesn't provide a way to do this.

Hi,
MSN Messenger 7 and Windows Messenger 8 are -both- msnmsgr.exe. But yes, you can start Windows Messenger 4.x/.x and MSN Messenger 6.x/7.x/8.x because they are separate products that are considered different products entirely. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.

"MSN Messenger 7 and Windows Messenger 8 are -both- msnmsgr.exe"
You're right. I was looking in the windows install directory C:\program files\Messenger/msmsgr.exe which is probably vesion 4 or 5 , I assumed it was v.7. Whats this guys reason for launching two messengers anyway, couldn't he just import or add contacts from his other passport list to save the hassle? -- Brandon Dub., TO canada, Shell ''explorer'' "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: Hi, MSN Messenger 7 and Windows Messenger 8 are -both- msnmsgr.exe.

I use the 'personal' 'work' contact "Grouping" but I see youre logic. If I
had more friends I might want to do the same. lol -- Brandon Dub., TO canada, Shell ''explorer'' "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote: Hi, Work contacts on one, Personal contacts on the other?
