omfg omfg omfg. right now im just killing myself! I FEEL SO STUPID. I was playing around with my plus and I happened to see "Lock" and so I clicked it...I didn't know how to unlock it so I experimented by ending the messenger process with my task manager. Now I'm trying to log on but it's not working! OMG, DOOM.

Not the typical lock you get everyday! ;_; what should i do!? HELP!!

All you have to do to unlock is click on the modified icon in your systray, in the bottom right corner of your window, next to the hour .

if that doesnt work... try opening Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) go to the processes tab > end the task msnmsgr.exe

If you locked your Messenger by accident and don't know how to get it back, look for a new icon in your notification area (bottom right; by the clock). It usually looks like a grey disk with tubes/pipes underneath. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see 'Windows Live Messenger'. If you still can't spot it, here's how it should look like: -- Double click this icon to bring your Messenger back. If that doesn't help hold "Ctrl" while you double click

Same man, but the pic works

Anyway, you also mentioned that you could not log back in after ending the process. Does the program simply not appear (if this is the case, look for the icon described above) or does the window appear but you can't log in (if this happens, then it's not a Messenger Lock issue).

thanks guys....i feel so stupid.... m(__)m

It works now. ...if i tell you how i got it to work your gonna be like
"WHAT THE #$%!??"
...or something. GAH I FEEL STUPID.
