MSN Messenger Display Name
When I get into Tools/Options/Display Name of MSN
Messenger, it does not allow me to change my name as others see it. Instead, it has my email address followed by (E-mail Address Not Verified) and it is not highlighted or changeable. Does it take a certain amount of time before you're allowed to change your display name? Must you have a hotmail email address to be able to change your display name? Am I doing something else wrong??? Please help!! Thanks! |

MSN Messenger Display Name
Greetings,
You can only change your display name when your e-mail address has been verified. Within 48 hours of signing up for a Passport you'll be sent a verification e-mail, all you need to do is click the verification link within this e-mail and your account will then be verified. If you never received the verification email, you'll need to request another one from Passport Services: http://register.passport.net/contactus.srf ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com wrote in message ...
