My hubby and I share our hotmail e mail address at the moment. I would like to sign him up for his own account cos he can never remember our e mail address so i want one with his name so he can remember it and its about time we had our own. I jst tried signing him up filled ut the registaton form and when i tried to sign him in by clicking on msn icon i get msg that its not recognised.

What is difference between windows live ID and msn? are they the same thing just a new name? When i look into signing into windowns live ID the option is ______@co.uk
shouldnt it be ____@hotmail.com as with our shared e-mail address?
Pease help this is the nth time i have tried and left it cos i cant wrk out the difference or what i am doing wrong.

Thanks for the reply, I don't have a problem with what the address ends in .com/co.uk I just need to know are they the same thing do you still sign in at the same place?
I tried the link you sent and its for windows live ID _____@hotmail.co.uk.
Sorry I am a little confused not good with these things.

Hi computerguy just wanted to let u know that i have managed to sign up the thing i was doing wrong was that i had my "remember me" turned on and i had to turn that off and then sign up and it was successful and its hotmail.com as i wanted.
Thanks again for taking the time to help.
