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.

I've just recently switched from hotmail to gmail too & also want to use my new gmail address for windows live messenger but when I try to sign up, it wont let me because I don't have a '@hotmail.com' email address! any ideas on what I can do please?

I have the same problem. When I try to log on with gmail, it writes that there is some error(800048822).
I don't know what to do. can anyone help me please?
