have you tried to re register the name on hotmail? does it tell you it is already taken? if so it should still be yours ( unless your hotmail was something like david @hotmail.co.uk where by someone else would obviously want the name). did it let you reset the password or is it not even letting you onto the site? if so and someone else is sharing your pc, it maybe worth checking that hotmail.co.uk is not blocked on your internet settings or firewall or anti virus

I reset the password, still no joy. Tried to create a new .co.uk account, but even when I selected UK from the list, I still only got the option to open a .com account.

I have received this exact same error when I tried to sign in with my .NET passport, but not hotmail.co.uk account. (You can register other e-mail addresses as .NET passports for MSN Messenger) Basically, I registered my other e-mail address as a .NET passport so I didn't need to maintain a second e-mail adress (Hotmail) for Messenger.

Are you signing in with a hotmail account, or another non-hotmail .NET passport account?

I have my normal (plusnet) e-mail address registered for the .net passport account - and have no bother logging in with MSN Messenger with it. I did try to log in using the hotmail address, just to see what would happen and it told me that either the e-mail address or password was incorrect.

I think I'm just going to have to put this down to experience and not bother with it - it's not like I don't have plenty of other options! I was just a bit annoyed that they seem to have cancelled it out of hand - didn't even send me a warning e-mail to my .net passport e-mail address, which you would have thought they should do. :rolleyes:
