Hi everyone

I currently use windows live messenger which i'm very happy with & causes no problems but i have 2 different sign on names that i would like to be able to log on simultanously ... Is there a messenger service that will allow me to keep my usernames & log them both on at the same time

Any advice appreciated

Thanks in advance

In theory you should be able to have both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger signed in together at the same time for two different usernames. In practice I haven't tried it but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

Yeah thanks ... that does work ... but would prefer a single program ... Currently using Trillian again which seems ok but have had problems with that about 6 months so ended up unuinstalling until this afternoon

I don't know if you're still interested, but AIM lets you link different screen names which can all be signed in simultaneously. Or if you want to "sign off" of one but leave (for example) the other three on, there is an "invisible" function for each screen name.

You can download the program for free here: AIM 6.1
