I am unable to sign on to Windows Messenger when I log in to my user account.
However, when my dad logs into his user account he can sign on to Windows
Messenger using my e-mail address.  Can you help me, please?

One of my buddies has a problem with the background of the conversation
windows. He's able to set a background but when he logs off and on again the
background is not there. Is there something he can something to fix that
problem?

I thought it was some patch or live plus! that cause the random freezing of
live messenger...
but NO... Messenger live keeps doing it, keeps doing it.... again and
again..
