Windows Live Messenger and Gmail - Do they mix?
 

I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right forum or not, but I thought it made sense since its windows live messenger. Anyway, I have recently switch from Hotmail to Gmail, but I am still wishing to use Window Live Messenger. One of my contacts is on gmail on this, but I'm not. I've signed up my account with Window Liv Id, and I can use Windows Live, but I can't make a display name. When I try to, you see this

Which is really annoying because I would like to have a display name. If any one knows how to fix, or is even had/having the same problem, it'd be really helpful. Thanks!

I can't read whatever is in the red bar. Can you type that out for us?


Generally there should be no conflict between gmail and messenger.
