I merged as suggested but do not like. I was quite happily using both Messenger and Skype.  Every time I tried to message on my Skype, which I do ready for my Skpype person to see if I didn't actually want to video call them,  it made a phone call. So I unmerged, and now I cannot seem to restore my Open up Messenger on Startup. I liked it that way. Any help please I have Windows 7
