I did exactly this. On the win98 pc i logged in with the account and exported settings to the harddrive then logged out of msn on this pc. Next i emailed this file to myself and when and got it on the winxp pc and saved it to harddrive. I then signed in to msn with the same username on the winxp pc and went to import settings from file and found the settings file "MessengerPlus!settingsfor<name>@hotmail.pld". In the wizard every check box was ticked as to what to import. the wizard then told me the process was complete.
I signed out of msn and exited from it completely in the taskbar. I then loaded msn and signed in and my newly imported settings were not there???

Maybe it's because of a registry mess? Try this:

I would rather not play with the registry unless i really have to as i am not that sure as to what to do. If it comes down to it and everyone says that is the only way to overcome the problem then id be happy follow some instructions on what to do in the registry.

So everyone if it comes to it i will do the registry idea (thanks for the help lopardo) otherwise can anyone help me through this without going through the registry?
Thanks
