I presume you mean in MSN? You have to have Dynamic Display Pictures... NOT animated gifs

Dynamic Display Pictures used to appear in the My Display Picture menu. Formerly referred to as Deluxe Display Pictures, this special type of MSN Display Pictures is supposed to change automatically according to your mood. Source: mess.be

Thanx for the info, i went to mess.be and found this about it:

Thanks to a tip from Alpha Binary we expect Dynamic Display Pictures to be Macromedia Flash files, rather than animated GIFs. This could also explain why this feature has been temporarily disabled due to heightened security.

I thought msgplus would allow me to use animated gifs.

It (if even possible) would be Highly difficult to do... many ideas have been brought up and shot down around here.
