    Registering on AMSN



    hello everybody

    I've got a problem with amsn. I've got it installed and can start it up, but it simply askes me to log in and doesn't offer me any way to register an account. I've tried just logging on with any old name, with or without a password and it tells me (as expected) that there's no such account.

    Does anybody know where I can get my nickname for amsn?

    (Might be a stupid or obvious question, but I'm stuck )

    Hi Marvinder,

    If you are looking to use MSN, you need a passport. You can sign up for one here:http://join.msn.com/?page=hotmail/pl...D=1983&DI=2045
    After signing up with this, use your new email address and the password you gave to sign in.

    Hope that helps,
    Bryan

    Thanks for the fast reply Bryan =)

    I don't think that'll do the trick, since I do have an E-mailaddress with msn (a hotmail.com), but I can't see any link between that and amsn. aMSN is supposed to be the counterpart of MSN but for Linux, I understand..
    So the question remains..

    Still, many thanks

    Your hotmail address is your login for aMSN and the same goes with your password. Are you able to use MSN for Windows (or Mac)?
