Hi Donna, Instead of doing this in Messages, do the following:
• Go to System Preferences. • Click on Internet Accounts. • From the Internet Accounts table, select your Google account. • Stop interacting with the Internet Accounts table and navigate right to the Applications table. • Interact with this table. • Navigate down and check the box for Messages. Normally that does it. After that change is applied, GoogleTalk with your Google account should be one of the accounts within Messages. HTH. Later...
