How do I use msn live chat? I have a hotmail email address?

I've filled in the form and have a new hotmail address, but don't know how to actually use live msn?

hi
go here to get MSN
http://get.live.com/messenger/overview
select SAVE and store the setup programme on your computer , so you can use it in case you have to reinstall oen day
once downloaded..go to the .exe file and doubleclick
install
just do what the instructions say..step by step

once installed go to
start
settings
control panel
security center
windows firewall
mark MSn in the exceptions list
so it will be allowed to connect

then just dobleclick on MSN icon
in the sign in window
write your emailaddress and password
there won't be any contact yet,so you will have to add some
go to the MSn the toolbar
contacts
select 'add contact'
write the complete email address and send it
the contact will recieve your invitation and once he adds you you can start chatting
if the contact is online his buddy is green , if he is offline the buddy is grey
when a contact is online dobleclick on the icon and in the window that opens write what you want and to send message and 'enter' or click on 'send'


I hope I helped you^^
