Wannes Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Hey, I've got 2 logins which I use for msn messenger. The first being a @hotmail.com account, the other being my @philips.com account. I've used both accounts before for MSN even in the Live messenger but suddenly, from one day to another, my @philips.com account doesn't work anymore. My son can still login using his @wickedpuppy.net account. I can login in using 7.5 but noy in the Live version, this really annoys me and hope anyone can help me out here! Cheers, James Attachments: errorlivemessenger.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiver Veteran Posted June 14, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 14, 2006 i know you have said you used both, but did you register both as a windows live logon? i had a problem not so long ago where i couldnt log in for a few hours but the problem sorted itself later that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
