Been using MSN for years as most of my friends use it, and had my email address...

[email protected] as my Passport login, and everything was working fine until today when I get an error message when I try and sign in.

Important service announcement: Because of a recent system update, you must change the e-mail address that you use to sign in to Windows Live(TM) Messenger. Until you change your e-mail address, you won't be able to use Windows Live(TM) Messenger.

To change your e-mail address and find out more about this system update, go to Help and Support
When I head to this page (in firefox as it doesn't work in Safari) I am aksed to change my windows live ID, but whenever I try and change it to one of my .mac aliases I get an error..

The Windows Live ID [email protected] isn't available.


It won't even let me use my gmail address.

Anyone else had this problem, and anyone been able to use MSN without having to resort to getting a hotmail account?

This may be of no help but what URL do you login at? I can't login at Expedia but can at Sign In. I then go back to Expedia to use it.
