Updating calender flashing on taskbar then error icon appears. Unable to send or receive messages. Inbox also not up to date.

I have been using Live email for about 2 months now and only use Messenger so I am alerted to new email. This morning I logged into Windows Messenger from the taskbar, it logged me in, alerted me to my emails but when I clicked on it it vanished from the screen and from the taskbar. I went into Start menu and clicked on Messenger, logged on, it alerted me to my emails, then vanished etc etc. So I went into my email page via www.live.co.uk and it tells me I am logged onto Meseenger and listed some friends that were also logged on, but I cant get the Messenger screen/list up? I havent changed any settings - and have stried to click onto the menu to look at my settings but Messenger justs vanished!

Any help would be good - I'm not great with computers though :-(

 

Thanks

Not sure how to explain this.  I get to my Hotmail account with an icon in my taskbar.  I have been trying to turn off ny vacation reply using the account on my computer.  Just now went into google and googled Hotmail and signed in that way.  Found the vacation reply area so was able to turn off.  How do I get the Hotmail account that I can access thru the internet to be as convenient as the one I have on my computer?  This doesn't make any sense to me so I hope someone can make some sense of it.  Thank you so much.  
Whenever MSN Messenger is open I have its giant icon taking up space on the left hand side of my taskbar. How do I remove it from here and put it next to the clock, like in the old days? Skype gives the option but your Messenger doesn't!
I never use Windows Live Messenger, yet it's always running unless I use Task Mgr to turn it off. I'm afraid to delete it, but it's a hassle having it running and pinned to my taskbar.
Since the upgrade we can't switch users from the taskbar icon.  We have to sign out, open the messenger window and choose user there.  How do we get it back the way it was, all in one place on the taskbar.
I have windows live mail running; when I am finished and want to close the program, I click the x, and it will not close.  I have to click the - and that puts the open program on my taskbar, then I close the program from there.  Why will clicking the x not close the program? Thanks

I'd like a notification of new emails to appear on my taskbar, preferably with an audible alert. How is this done, please?
