adding identity or changing identity by jimwww on 10-05-2007 at 11:37 PM
1. Yes I did try to search and it would not let me because add identity is too short 
2. Quick question. I have MSN live on an identity that is from my office. How do I add another identity (personal one).. that I can switch to or login to when I want.
thanks in advance.

1) Log off,
2) Click on the little arrow beside your WLID, and select Sign in with a different Windows Live ID.
3) Type in your WLID (i.e., billgates@hotmail.com), and your password. When finish click sign in.

If you want to sign in with a different Windows Live ID without signing out first one, then you must use one of the programs which lets you start as many Messenger clients as you want. And here I must advice to you installing Messenger Plus! Live. Check the box in its preferences and then it'll let you run more than one Messenger client.

thanks.. I did install Plus! but I do not see any extra 'preference box' in windows live. 'options' is there but I do not see anything under options that would let two identities run at the same time.

EDIT:

1) Click on any Windows Live Messenger icon you have (i.e., from the Quick Launch, from Desktop, from Start Menu, etc.).
