A friend uses Instant Messenger on his Vista Lap Top, using A.O.L. I use Windows Live Messenger on an XP machine through TalkTalk. Why can we not communicate with each other - it's driving us mad.

I have always used either window messenger or MSN messenger in the past years to get to my Hotmail account without any problem. I have done all updates and all worked fine even with the new WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER well untill this last March 2009 update and from there on the problems began. I check all the boxes to sign me in automatically when I start my laptop.... Well everytime it asks me to enter my e-mail address & password and . Is this a common problem with others? or I am the lucky one? Please help..... Thanks

I am trying to drag my contacts into Windows Live Messenger from Windows Messenger as it suggests, however I get the "no" sign. How can I import my contacts list? I have XP and am using a brand new Dell that came with the newest version of messenger, but all my contacts are in the old version. Should be simple? Not!
Posted by: Patricia Tummond at September 25, 2009 5:50 AMI do not use instant messaging. I just use the MSN website (or whatever) to send and receive email. So, do I need this WLM? For me WLM only presents headaches and real frustration !!!!
