RE: Backup messenger / Change to different computer
It will only work if your account/login name of Windows is the same as before, as this is what is used to encrypt the data in map.dat. If you changed your account name after backup up the data, then MSN Messenger wont be able to decrypt the data in map.dat and therefor can't read the files...
