Yes, you can log on like you do normally.

Windows ME is the worst windows ever made... Seriously. Are you sure it's solely the messenger's fault? I'd look for spyware and viruses as well... But you never know.

Ok My friend, I think you have PC problems, so the first step is uninstall the messenger, after it, clean up your pc, try this online free service from Windows Live \n\nhttp://safety.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm?s_cid=ideas_wlsc\n\nand make a regular click on FULL SERVICE SCAN button, reboot your PC and try to install the last MSN MESSENGER Version 8\n\nhttp://ideas.live.com/programPage.aspx?versionId=ef051fb5-d20f-41fd-b0c6-06fa1b0445da\n\nHope it work for you.\n\nTake care my friend and good luck\n\nJC

No, you must have different accounts to log on. You can't log on 2 different computers with the same messenger ID even if you are on the same network. I have already tried that.

Yes. I have both MSN and Yahoo messenger. I prefer Yahoo as it is much easier to use.

Make sure u have a .NET account. U need that in order to use Windows messenger. The way of using it, is the same as other messenger. Put in your .net id and your password. Then connect.

It would have something to do with the way you are opening the program. Obviously MSN has been put in as a default somewhere or the person setting up your system put the wrong information in the wrong place. With out me coming over and taking a look I can't tell you much more.

windows live messenger is definitely better, it allows offline messaging, pc-to-pc calling, live contacts, msn spaces integration and its very stable as it is officially available for the public.. you should definitely opt for windows live over msn 7.5

A lot of people have aliases when u add them to messenger there original name appears instead of aliases name I think. It happens to me on my messenger. If u were to add me my name would change to coz I have 2 aliases and my original name.

Download Yahoo Messenger 7.0 and then open it and sign on with screen name 1.  Then go to messenger.yahoo.com and at the bottom of the screen is "launch web messenger".  Then you can sign on this one with screen name 2.  If you use the same screen name for both, there will probably be errors or duplicate popup windows.

Well with Yahoo if its at the same time it usually wont let you in , and say s you are signed in on another computer...\nAs for msn I'm not sure unless it simply wont sign you in.\nOther than that I don't know.

yes there are third party utilities available, i can not take guarentee for any damage to your PC if you use one of them. Actualy if you search on google, you will find a lot of them. one of them is\nhttp://www.addict3d.org/index.php?page=downloadfile&ID=916\nanother way could be to use Trillion or similar multi messenger, where you can logon to different messengers at the same time, and also login to yahoo messenger with another ID.

yes, your connection has little to do with if you can use a messenger program, the only thing that could be hinderous to your use of a messenger program is a firewall or the operating system you're using, contact them for compatability on the issue.

MSN Messenger des not "connect" to an IP address. It uses your computer to send/recieve data, and the computer is what controls the IP addressing. MSN operates through something called a "port", which allows multiple programs to use the internet at the same time, as each one uses a different port. If you need assistance with this, we need to know exactly what's going on.\n\nIf it is rejecting your username and password, then it's not an internet problem.\n\nIf it simply cannot get online, then it's more likely a problem with your computer. Reboot, and if that does not help, re-install MSNIM.
