Hello everyone,

I use Windows messenger and I've encountered this problem a few days
ago:

I wanted to sign in using a different hotmail username than the one I
usually use, but I checked SIP instead of .NET service. The signing in
procedure failed. But ever since, whenever I sign in using the right
info, I get the followiing message: "Signing in to an SIP communication
service failed....etc". I press OK. Then the Messenger window opens and
just under my status and name, I get the following message:"You are not
signed in to SIP. Click here to sign in"

I don't know how to get rid of these two messages. I'd appreciate your
help.

Greetings Samar,

Just click the Tools menu within Messenger, then Options, then Accounts tab, uncheck SIP and
click OK.
