Signing-In to Windows Messenger (communications service)
Greetings,
The Communications Service is for SIP-based communications services, this isn't what you want. To correct this, open up the main Messenger window, click the Tools menu in Messenger, then select Options and then click the Accounts tab. If you're using Windows Messenger 4.x, click the option button '.NET Passport' under 'Sign in with this account first'. Then, uncheck the box 'My contacts include users of a communications service', click OK and then try and sign on again. If you're using Windows Messenger 5.x, verify that all the options are unchecked except for the top '.NET Passport Account' option. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "J. Conrad" wrote in message ... Well, I installed Windows messenger and it takes my .Net passport o.k. But then it asks for my sign-in name, user name, and password for my communications service. I have earthlink. There are two users on this computer, myself (limited) and my fiance, Scott (administrator) although we use this at home and not as a business computer. How can I find out my sign-in name, user name and password if Scott doesn't even know where to look? I know this sounds stupid but I am hardly computer-savvy. J. Conrad |
