Live Messenger Display Name Problem

When I log on to WLM my display name comes up as my email address. When I go
try to change it, it will not allow me to do it. My friends see me as "Q" on
their end. Is there some way I can fix this? I have talked to WLM support and
they had no idea what to do...thanks in advance!

Greetings Andrew,

What exactly are you seeing in the display name text box in options? If it's grayed out,
then more than likely your e-mail address hasn't been verified. In order to verify your
e-mail address, you'll need to click on the verification link in the verification e-mail that
Windows Live ID Services will send you.

If you don't have the e-mail and require another, you can contact Windows Live ID Services
and ask them to send you a verification e-mail directly:
