WLM Forgets Display Name

Hi

I've recently installed Windows Live Messenger; everything is ok except i
have to enter my display name and personal contact message each time i sign
in. It always reverts to my email address as the display name and no message.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Richard

Tools -> Options -> Sign-in -> "Use the same display picture and personal
message.....", make sure that option is ticked and let me know if you're
still having trouble.

Thanks Sean, but that setting is already ticked.
I have found that the ordinary Windows Messenger remembers my display name
for the same account, but not Live Messenger.
