i have messenger under 1 user, but would like to be also under a different user for family so I won't keep getting called upon by others while I talk with one. Too many to keep up with. Want to enjoy one at a time.

ugh, you dont need to download it again, unless you want to be signed in to two accounts at the same time, then use web messenger. you can use as many accounts on one messenger as needed, but you can only sign in one at a time

sometimes that can happen and the problem only lasts like a day\non the older versions people could use an account locker on other peoples messenger id and that also could block the account for a few hrs at times\ntry logging in with some other id (not a sub id of the blocked account) if you can log in with another id then the problem is temporary

If you want to use your old ID without the new one showing, you can open the Messenger menu at the top, click My Profiles.  You'll notice that next to your new name it has a drop down menu that says Active or Inactive.  Making it Inactive will allow you to sign on with the first ID without the new one showing up.\nBut your primary account is always going to be active.  You CAN sign on with your primary ID as invisible.  Then use the drop down box to select another ID when you open chat (Enter Chat Room as:____) or IMs (Send as:____).  However, it's going to show you as offline since the primary ID is invisible.

Every instant messaging program is great.  There are lots out there, but I would stick with the one that all of your friends use.  If you have friends that use different services (AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, etc.), like mine do, you can get a program like Trillian that incorporates many services into one program so you don't have to have 4 different instant messaging programs open at the same time.

You can create up to five alias (ID'S) in Yahoo messenger. Then just make sure they are all activated when you log into Messenger. When the mesenger window opens, go to "My Profiles"

I would suggest make a new user as the other people wrote. If you want to use the same settings as the current Bryan user copy that profile to yours using copy profile. \n\nSource below on copying profile.

Use Trillian, it allows multiple accounts from AOL, MSN, YAHOO, ICQ....

If your brother has DSL or Broadband, he could be logged on even if he's not in town...All the highlighted thing means is that the computer is online and messenger is engaged. Mine logs on as soon as I turn on my computer, I don't even have to sign in. He could have just forgotten to log off, then he would still have been online, but idle.  It's not great for the computer becuase spyware can get into the system, but a lot of people stay online almost all the time.

sure what's your messenger name???   AIM NAME IS lfis492a\n\nim me and we can set it up.

nope you just need to know the AIM id. No e-mail , no online, no permission.\n\nYahoo IM requires permission, which you can only get when the other person is online!\n\nit's in the menu "add buddy" or something

Yes, you can do it.  Just set up more than one user account, and tell the computer to use different settings for each user.\n\nI'm not entirely sure, but I think you can find these settings under "Users" on the Control Panel.

Use Trillian or Gaim.\n\nAlternatively you will need to get MSN Polygamy.\n\nThese will let you signin to more than one account at a time.

Go into the preferences menu in messenger (it's in the "messenger" main menu), you can change those settings there under the "general" category.
