P.S. the "display name" you can set in Tools/Options/Personal tab.

vasey - 31 Mar 2003 22:10 - 357 of 11003

I can access that Tools/Options/Personal but the top box won't let me put something in! (That is where the e-mail details were, until I deleted them!)The 'Edit Profile' box wants me to download some add-in,

Kayak - 31 Mar 2003 22:18 - 358 of 11003

vasey, I think you have to sign in before changing the display name. If the display name is set to your email address then that is what everyone will see.

Vasey Call me tomorrow on 01902 676159 I might be able to talk you through it. In the meantime try this in in Outlook Express to stop messenger loading automatically. In Outlook Express, on the Tools menu, click Options. Then General
Clear the Automatically log on to your messenger service check box. That should help with one problem.

vasey - 31 Mar 2003 22:23 - 360 of 11003

Thats what I thought and definitely not what I want. But thanks for taking the trouble to have a look.

Crocodile - 31 Mar 2003 22:25 - 361 of 11003

vasey I had the same problem with messenger as well, It was quite easy to fix
when it showed my EMail instead of the name I wanted.
First I disabled the auto login from Outlook
Then .... checking ... BRB

vasey - 31 Mar 2003 22:27 - 362 of 11003

Thanks, Croc. I'll ring you tomorrow.

Crocodile - 31 Mar 2003 22:29 - 363 of 11003

Youve fixed it?

vasey - 31 Mar 2003 22:31 - 364 of 11003

I just saw your post 358. I'm just looking...

Crocodile - 31 Mar 2003 22:32 - 365 of 11003

o.k.
Can you get into messenger?

vasey - 31 Mar 2003 22:34 - 366 of 11003

I think so. I did disable the automatic log on last night. BRB?

Crocodile - 31 Mar 2003 22:35 - 367 of 11003

BRB = Be Right Back
well in messenger
if you click on tools and options
what do you get?

vasey - 31 Mar 2003 22:37 - 368 of 11003

Yep, I think I can get into Messenger.

Crocodile - 31 Mar 2003 22:37 - 369 of 11003

see above :-)

vasey - 31 Mar 2003 22:40 - 370 of 11003

Got the Options / Personal tab up but the top box, 'Type your name as you would want others to see it' is greyed out. I deleted my e-mail details from there last night and it won't let me put anything in what is now a blank box.

Crocodile - 31 Mar 2003 22:41 - 371 of 11003

O.K.
The reason for that is that you have an invalid net passort
click on file
and sign out

vasey - 31 Mar 2003 22:42 - 372 of 11003

ok

Crocodile - 31 Mar 2003 22:43 - 373 of 11003

Then try and sign in with a different account
click on the arrow on the side
and see if your old account is there

Crocodile - 31 Mar 2003 22:45 - 374 of 11003

If not
Then click on 'Get a net passport' which is on the bottom left hand corner of the login screen

vasey - 31 Mar 2003 22:46 - 375 of 11003

yep, the old one is still there
