Re: two msn messenger use at one time



"MSN Messenger 7 and Windows Messenger 8 are -both- msnmsgr.exe"

You're right. I was looking in the windows install directory C:\program
files\Messenger/msmsgr.exe which is probably vesion 4 or 5 , I assumed it was
v.7.

Whats this guys reason for launching two messengers anyway, couldn't he just
import or add contacts from his other passport list to save the hassle?

Hi,

MSN Messenger 7 and Windows Messenger 8 are -both- msnmsgr.exe.

But yes, you can start Windows Messenger 4.x/.x and MSN Messenger 6.x/7.x/8.x because they
are separate products that are considered different products entirely.

I wasnt aware you could do that, good to know..
However I successfully started messenger 7 and 8 beta at the same time. I
have only 1 passport so I logged off one as I signed into the other but you
could have them both running at the same time since msmsgs and msnmsngr have
different names and running processes. just FYI.

Greetings,

Unfortunately Messenger itself doesn't provide a way to do this. However, what you can do
is
use an official "polygamy" patch. One of the most popular ones is A-Patch (note it also
provides a number of other options too):
