Beast Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 OK guys, I can't think of what it could be but I can't change my MSN name for some reason. It just stays as the last name I had. I wanted to change it today and it did but as soon as I go off and back online, it changes back to the name I had before and not the new one. Does anyone know what this could be? And has anyone else had this problem. By the way, I dunno whether it helps but I have the newest MSN messenger. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Try uninstalling it and download it again. That would be the best solution i can advise as well. I had a similar problem with MSN, and re-installing it corrected the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I've installed it and re-installed it and it still doesn't work. I've never encountered this before, it's odd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 This happened to me before, and I can't quite remember how I did it. I think I may have signed in on Windows Messenger (the XP pre-installed bare bones version) and changed it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I think it's lag that does it. I've had that problem when there's been a problem on my network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just click about in the options and see what happens, thats about all i can recommend now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 I'm all out of ideas. Just click about in the options and see what happens, thats about all i can recommend now. I've done that and it never worked Strangely enough, I tried to change my name on my other e-mail address and it worked, it changes but with the main one I use alot, it just stays the same. Oh well, I might swap e-mail addresses and delete this account anyways. Thank you all very much for your help, I really appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ninja0 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Try uninstalling it and download it again. That's a release candidate. The final version has been released already: http://download.live.com/?sku=messenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
