Every time I open Outlook Express I get a nag box from Windows Messenger
about an old e-mail account that I no longer have. It tells me to check that
e-mail so I can logon but as I said I dont have access to that account any
more. How do I change meesenger to an e-mail I do have?

Thanks in advance,
davie261

Greetings,

You can stop this behavior by closing Outlook Express, then downloading and running the
following .reg file:

I seem to have got around it by creating a .net account with my new e-mail
and password, then when messenger nag box came up it gave me the choice to
sign in with a different account. I chose the new one, verified the e-mail
and I think its ok. But I will download that reg file just in case.
That was a fast response and thanks for the help JK
