We used to have an hotmail account set up through windows messenger. Now that we changed ISPs we use internet through windows live. I cant figure how to get it to SAY how many emails are unread on my actual account now, instead of this old one. The problem is on the page right after you start up the computer, where you select which account to log into. I have tried making windows live the default email browser, and making sure the .net passport is set up for the current email i want. Help me out, how do I get it to change.If you are using your old account for messenger, but using your NEW account for email, you will only be able to see emails for your old account, this cannot be changed.
Is this what you are attempting to do?
If you switch all your instant messenger contacts over to your new account, and log into it, your new accounts email will be displayed. Quote from: Zylstra on January 02, 2008, 09:13:04 PM

No need to bump, 2 hour wait isnt much...

I think that one possible issue might be Windows attempting to access your Passport account (XP is part of the Passport era, unfortunately...)

Click Start> Control Panel> (Find User Accounts)> (Select your account)> Somewhere in there, there should be a Hotmail/MSN/Passport setting. Change it to your new address. BTW: NEVER Use the XP Passport setting for a shared computer, as it will allow users on your computer to access this information.
