Hiii, here's how to enable to saving your messenger converstaions: you can
do it from messenger options [tools > options > messages > select
automatically save history of my messages] , No 3rd party tools required.
and can access the arcive from this path: My Documents\My Received
Files\username+somenumbers\History

JK- My messenger history is in XML format. How can I get it to a text
format? The XML is something I have not seen before. Did I switch the
format unknowingly? Thanx

Greetings,

History of what exactly? If you mean conversations, Windows Messenger
does not have a
message archive feature and won't save anything. The exception being if
you're using a third
party tool like Messenger Plus which would save the conversations for
you.
