Try removing the MSN Messenger folder from:
C:\Documents and Settings\<userNameGoesHere>\Application
Data\Microsoft

Once the folder is removed, Messenger will create a new
one once successfully logged back in.

 

[cw]

it did not work i deleled the folder and the same stuff came back

Greetings cw,

To fix this, open up the main Messenger window, simply click the Tools menu, then Options,
rewrite your display name, then log off and log back on again. It should be back to normal
after this.
