Doesn't give me the option of creating a .com email by Iotrez on 01-15-2008 at 08:12 AM
Hi there,
I'm trying to sign up to Windows live messanger with a new email.
I want the new email to end in .com however messanger only seems to be giving me the option to select .co.uk in the create new email section.
The reason I want .com is that I already have an email with .co.uk and I have printed off lots of leaflets advertising my business, but mistakingly put .com on the leaflets instead of .co.uk
So now I want to see if i can just create the email with .com instead of having to re print all the leaflets.
Thanks for any help.

Set your country to US.

lotrez, before clicking on "Sign-up for Window Live ID" link in sign-in window of Messenger, change your Internet Explorer's Languages settings such:
Go Internet Options>General tab>Languages button. Here add, English (U.S.A) [en-US] to the languages list and move it to the top of the list. Then click on "sign-up" link in Messenger's sign-in window.

That will probably accompolish nothing. Set the country to US on the signup page, as you're creating a new email

If you're on the "Sign up for Windows Live" page, then try this link instead to get a .com address.

, how do you see?And when I change Internet Explorer's language, for example to Deutsch (German) it gives me to choose an address with .de extension. So IE really has an effect on the extensions.
However when I change the country for example as German, it doesn't change the avaliable address extensions

Well it has no effect here. The only language installed here is en-us yet it still only allows .co.uk addresses, unless I change the link.
