My PC runs Windows XP Professional - Windows live messenger 2009 is applied - When I sign in on windows live messenger my credentials are not kept & saved when I sign out and re-start the computer - It seems that Internet explorer 8 updates interfere with windows live messenger - No problems were encountered with Internet Explorer 7 - The question is how to keep these credentials without installing a new copy of Windows - Thank you and best regards.
