    In Messenger, go to Tools >> Options, and select the Preferences tab.

    Under 'Alerts', tick the 'Display alerts when an instant message is received'.

    That should do it (if I understand you correctly).

    if you are using msn messanger the reason they might not get the box is that they are using an old version they will need to update it to the latest version
