logging to windoes messenger

[alidabiri]

hi everyone,
does anyone know how to logon to windows messenger (not msn messenger). my son has been trying to use windows messenger. he's tried putting his msn email, and his win-xp userid, and password from hotmail. but it's asking for a domain, and says:
the email, user id and password that you're using is not the same as the person using this computer.
any suggestions?

I pasted it again, but you may need to copy/paste it into your browser (instead of clicking on it)

thanks,
i checked the site,
it says this:
After you create a new account, sign in to Windows Messenger by using the new sign-in name (this name contains "@hotmail.com"). To register for a new Hotmail account,
i did that. it asks for email (i put hot mail account)(new)
username: i put the user name from xp user name (i haven't tried hotmail email as user name yet).
password: i tried hotmail password, then xp password,
it didn't work.
what do i put in domain?

it didn't work.
