Hi,
I am trying to set up a second IM via MSN on my computer, unfortunately it just updated my own one (with a NZ homepage!) Does anyone know if it is possible to have two different IM's on one computer?
Many thanks

    Could you elaborate a bit more? bit confused... Do you want 2 MSN messenger applciations running side by side?

    You can certainly have msn, trillian, yahoo messenger etc running side by side.. Hmm also you can run a windows messenger and msn live messenger at the same time.

    Yes slim,
    I am wanting to set up another IM for my partner, mine updated to MSN Live Messenger, so what you are saying I can set up a windows messenger along side ( I would rather stay with MSN) Is it complicated to set up?
    Gosh I hope the makes sense?

    Here you go, from what the features say this add on will allow you to sign onto multiple accounts via 1 MSN.

    Just check a box in the preferences of Messenger Plus! Live and you'll be up and ready for signing-ing into more than one Messenger account at the same time. No need to patch any file or use other Messenger clients anymore!"

    I can have 2 Messengers running at the same time when I use 2 computers as a network.
