Ever thought of having multiple msn at once on your pc? Annoying siblings wanting to have standby mode on msn? Yes you can do it. Manually or automatically.
Automatic method
Download the application from here.
It is a patch for messenger.
Install it and viola.
Manual method
This method will be a bit complicated for those who are new to window's registry.
To avoid complexity, only use the manual method when u encounter error in the automatic method such as installation failure.
1. Click Run in window start and key in regedit. Click OK
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Live
3. Right click Messenger and create a new DWORD called MultipleInstances
4. Right click the newly added registry key and choose Modify
5. Set the Value data to 1
6. Close regedit
7. Launch Messenger.
8. If you want another messenger, launch messenger again without closing the other messenger. You only can login with a different window live id for each messenger.
All done! Now you can launch Windows Live Messenger as many times as you want, and sign in with as many WLIDs you want, on one computer. Just don’t try to sign in with the same Window Live ID more than once on one computer or it will throw error 80071392 at you!
Enjoy!
