MSN messenger question...

I recently stayed at a friend's house and whilst there I installed msn messenger onto their PC. Unfortunately I forgot to uninstall it when I left.

My friend phoned me this morning and informed that he's more than a little peeved with me because messages keep coming onto his PC screen and have been doing for a couple of weeks.

Periodically, msn has been informing me that it's signed into two locations at once so I always sign out and back in again and it sorts itself out.

What I've done to resolve the issue is to change my hotmail/msn password. Hopefully this means that it wont sign in automatically on his PC.

Before anyone suggests it: He wont allow me to uninstall msn because he knows nout about PC's and is stubborn.

Now that I've changed the password, should it stop msn automatically signing-in on his PC?

Thanks in advance!
 
yes, the reason it was signing in on his, is because when you typed in your details, you also checked the sign in automatically box. changing your password will stop these annoyances from now on
 
In the most recent msn messenger you can choose whether to delete your deatils including email address from his computer as well, not just disabling his ability to sign in automatically.
 
Oh really? How do I do that? I have msn 7.0 which is the latest version.

Just out of interest, would he have been able to have read my instant message conversations as they were happening? Please tell me it isn't so! lol
 
Ok
First off only if you have kept logs would he have been able to read it, by default this is off for privacy reasons
Secondly to delete your information about your msn account from his computer just go to the options tab in the main window and then select general tab on the left. In there should be a heading called sign in accounts and passwords, under there there is
a button called change, clicking that brings you to a window with all the information, just select yours and then press delete
And now your friend should not be able to access your account no more

PS i think msn messenger is better b3n because more people use msn messenger when compared to trillian

all trillian is a different interface. it uses yahoo, msn and aim messengers all in one. kind of like www.e-messenger.net

Emessenger i hardly ever use because its is extremely difficult to use since all the data has to be sent via internet and is not installed on your computer which to me is a real hassle

I only ever use MSN messenger so i don't find trillian much of use, although i have a yahoo messenger account also

I might try it somtime later though, just to test it out

i only use e messenger when im a) at college or b) msn doesnt work and wont sign in, 9/10 times e messenger will for some reason
 
msn now allows you to add yahoo addresses to your list.

Does trillion have the same functionality as msn, ie: Does it allow you to easily send files by copying and pasting? Can you have a picture displayed in your window? Can you use a webcam and/or mic?
 
If msn allows yahoo email addresses does it allow compatibility with the yahoo messenger?
I'd still stick with msn messenger lol, i'm too used to it, i've used it for my whole life, its been the first and only instant messenging tool that i use.

To be honest I'm not sure. I would assume so because I have added peoples' yahoo addresses to msn before and had conversations.

There was some talk about a year ago about making yahoo and msn compatible. Makes sense.
 
Hmm i might try that sometime, although everybody that i know uses msn messenger not yahoo
Thanks very much cdfreelancer
