It's unclear which application you are referencing as being automatically updated and the type of msn account.
MSn Messenger or Windows Live Messenger
- which version
Windows Live Mail(was it installed)
Does Msn Mail mean the web interface(now called Windows Live Hotmail)or MSn Explorer(software provided for use with an Msn Premium
subscription)
All Msn acccounts are Live ID accounts, just as all Hotmail.com and Live.com are LiveID accounts. All are accessible via the
Windows Live Hotmail web interface. All accounts are 'Hotmail' type accounts, the only difference is the second part of your email
address(@msn.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com)
Is your valid msn Mail account a premium account ?
Is your valid mns mail account a dialup or partner account(Qwest,Verizon etc) or a bring your own isp account[no partner] ?
