Thanks to all who supplied info re IM settings. For whatever reason, it's still not working for me, it's not the tablet, it's more likely me not doing the right thing! Lol.

I have managed to set up e-mail though, and been able to view video and photos, and browse the internet, so I've had some luck.

It's a shame there does'nt appear to be an easy download available to set the thing up for Live Messenger.

Once again, thanks for kind advice.
