Hello helpful people!

A few days ago my microsoft messenger for mac started resetting my name to my email address. This happens everytime i reboot the program.

I've tried updating the version from 6.'something' to 7.0.2. No effect.

I'm running an iMac with OSX snow leopard, and i recently updated my system. Maybe i installed some security update which is causing the trouble? No clue to be honest. But would surely like to know, if anyone knows how to fix it.

Cheers and merry christmas, Rune.

Download AppCleaner or something similar ... App Trap is good to, and trash everything to do with Messenger for Mac ..

Reinstall it and you shouldnt have a problem anymore.
Not sure why but it works

It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom ….”― Edgar Allan Poe

Hi,

mine does the same exact thing, forgetting display name/picture/settings. Using AppCleaner and reinstalling did not help. Any other ideas?
