Re: reinstall / restore

Greetings Mario,

Well, which Messenger are you talking about (Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger, Windows Live
Messenger) and which version?

If just Windows Messenger, there really isn't anything you need to backup, your account and
contacts are all saved on the Messenger server.
