im having many problems with hotmail and messenger. ive followed the help link from my hotmail page and its showing me as signed in under a name i changed months ago? i have only one email address and password but somehow windows live hotmail, live mail
and messenger all show different profile details?
I recently had trouble pulling up my hotmail. I changed over to Outlook Express, and I hate it. How can I take off Outlook Express and go back to my regular Windows Live Hotmail?
