Hi, Jonathan,
Unfortunately all existing solutions do not work for me. I have an
IBM-T42 with XP-Professional (SP2) + IE 7.0. Me and my wife each has a
windows XP account and a messenger (hotmail) account.
I tried to 1) uninstall Windows Live messenger, 2) remove all related
registries (MSN Messenger and WindowsLive Keys), 3) remove MSN Messenger
application data cache, 4) reboot and reinstall Windows Live Messenger. What
happens is that, if I login to windows XP with my wife's account, I can sign
on to MSN using Live Messenger with either of our messenger accounts. If I
login to windows XP with my account, I cannot sign on to MSN with either of
our messenger accounts. The two little guy just keep spinning, but others
can see my MSN account status change from offline to online.
I can logon to MSN using my windows XP account + Windows Messenger.
Therefore, Windows Live Messenger must be using something else stored in
my windows account (other than registry and application data cache)! Please
help.
Regards,
Jeng-Liang
