moving messenger to new PC, can I keep archives as well as buddy list?

yes.. your buddy lists should be stored remotely on the server.. depending on what chat client you're using will determine where the logs are located..\n\nI would check both the c:&#92;program files&#92;messenger program&#92; directory (look for a subdirectory called logs) or it might be hidden in a hidden folder in the user directory.\n\nopen windows explorer (double click on your c: drive icon)\nthen open tools--> options and enable "show hidden files and folders"\n\nthen go to c:&#92;documents and settings&#92;username&#92;application data&#92; and look around for a directory associated with your messenger program.. in one of these two places you'll find the logs...

It also depends on the program you use. If it is MSN Messenger, you'll have a Received Files directory; the picture you are looking for is there (provided that you activated the feature in Options).

You can retrieve previous messages only if you have the archiving feature turned on. Here's how to do it.\n\n1. On your Messenger client window, click on Messenger.\n\n2. Select Archive on the left hand side.\n\n3. On the Archive options, click either on "Yes, save all of my messages" or "Yes, save all of my messages, but clear them each time I sign out".\n\n4. Click OK and you're done.

the easiest way would be to network the 2 together with a router if you have one and transfer the files straight from one to the other.\n\nYou can also do the Removable media thing as stated above ie: CD, floppy etc.\n\nand lastly, you can email em to yourself or I like to icq or msn messenger them as well.\n\nany of those should do ya just fine..*S*

depends which messages you wanna view...if you mean your current IM's..ie once that are currently being sent, just log onto any computer with messenger and log in w/ your account.  \nBut...if you want to view old messages from your archive...that can only be viewed from your computer, or the computer they were saved on.  Archive is computer specific hence can only be viewed from the computer that recieved/sent the messages.

There are ways to partition off a section of hard-drive and install a second OS> http://www.winxpfix.com/page5.htm\nXPpro sp-2 less than A hundred and fifty dollars....\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/indexus.asp?\nYou use the other OS to get out. I hope that messenger time is worth your job, though. This type of stuff is not taken so lightly by the desk-types.

Ok. You are talking about archiving. For some reason on your computer the archiving feature would have been disabled by some user who logged on other than you.\n\nSo, you have two options here.\n1. You can save each session of IM manually.\nTo do this, in every IM session, just press CTRL+S on your keyboard. It'll ask you where to save the conversation. Save it to a location that you think is best. \n2. You can re-enable archiving which will save IM automatically.\nTo do this visit this link, it'll help you out. I just don't want to spend time re-inventing the wheel.\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/im/im-47523.html

No Friggin Way...Your Docs Yes But Yor Programs No...They Need Registy Entries To Function Properly...Windows XP Has This Nifty Little Feature That Allows You To 'Update' From A Previous Version Of Windows And Keep All Your Files And Settings...You Might Wanna Try That.....

they are saved on the pc you access msn from. try goto c:&#92; prog. files, msn messenger, profiles...and see if you msg archive is there. i think you can also specify where to save them at on msn msger.

All your yahoo files should be stored on yahoo servers..just go to www.yahoo.com and download the messenger..Also,if you don't want AOL taking over your system you need to go into control panel to add/remove programs and remove it

Your friend s list is saved in yahoo server. So it will never loose. but the conversation and the preferences will loose if you re install yahoo.\n\nCheers\n\nShaba!
