Hi everybody,

My problem is fairly simple and I believe it is due to the shift of some datas to my brand new external hard drive. I had to modify registry keys for the relocation to work completly.
I did not backup the registry and forgot how many of them I modified.

My problem is simple... everytime I log on to Windows Live with Messenger Plus... my nickname doesnt update automatically. The one that appears instead is one that was showing during regkey mods. Moreover, My avatar... **If an avatar is the small picture at the bottom right hand corner of the discussion interface** it doesnt update and has the same problem as the nickname

After a few moments, maybe 2-3 minutes... the nickname changes itself automatically to the one that I changed during the last logon... however I have not noticed if the pictures updates... next time I load Windows Live I will have a look at it!

I believe that this is a regkey issue... can you help me on this !?

I switched back to MSN MESSENGER and the problem disappeared..... But I prefer WINDOWS LIVE... ANY IDEA ???

You should never play in the Registry unless you know exactly what you are doing. Also, relocating data without care can also land yopu in trouble.
I'm sorry to have to say this, but I think you've brought it on yourself.

I changed the path of some of the documents and settings folders... I knew I should have backed up my datas but I did not...  I followed an article published on PCWORLD --> http://www.pcworld.com/article/125730-1/article.html

However I started to mess up a bit by searching for datas like C:\documents and settings\LOGIN   in the HKEY CURRENT USER section...

Is there someone able to help me out on this ?

HELP, I NEED SOMEBODY, HELP, NOT JUST ANYBODY, HELP!
