Passport and MSN Messenger 6.1
I am running Windows XP Home and Office XP and MSN Messenger 6.1. I have
unchecked the "run windows Messenger in background & startup boxes" in Outlook Instant Messaging options. Must I create a new passport to use with MSN Messenger so it is different than the one used with Windows Messenger? Can anyone tell me if it is OK to use the same passport for both MSN Messenger 6.1 that I used to originally sign in to Windows Messenger? I thought I saw an article somewhere that said that in order for MSN Messenger to work properly, it is necessary to sign in with a passport that is different from the one used to sign in with Windows Messenger. I can no longer remember where I saw this article. I would really appreciate it if someone could clarify this one way or the other.

Passport and MSN Messenger 6.1
Greetings SF,
It is *not* necessary to sign in with a different Passport then MSN Messenger (unless of course you're using Windows Messenger and are current signed in using it), the whole idea of Passport is to have a single login for everything, as such, just use the same Passport you always have. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Silverfox" wrote in message ...

Thank you for the replies. I just wanted to be certain that everything was setup correctly, but evidently it is fine!
