Display Name greyed out

12-27-2006

Hello, I am trying out Windows Live Messenger. I want to change my display
name as it is currently listing my email address rather than my name. When I
go to Tools> Options>Personal> My Display Name - the message reads "type your
name as you want others to see it". My email address it listed in the box
below this message. The problem is that the address is greyed out and I
cannot change anything. Any suggestions?

You have to be signed-in before you can change your display name...Sign-in
then change your display name.
