I've searched for this topic but can't find it anywhere.  On the MSS Messenger sign-in screen, there's a background image of (1) rotating half-people (at least, I think they're people!) or a tacky marijuana leaf!!  How do I get rid of that offensive leaf?  MSN claim it's not their design choice, but everyone I know with messenger gets it.  I really really hate it and don't think I can ignore it.
Can anyone tell me how to banish it forever?  Please?

Completly Uninstall MSN Messenger and reinstall it from http://messenger.msn.com. Someone installed a skin that on the computer that replaces specific files inside of MSN Messenger itself.

The other possibility could be that in the folder where you installed MSN Messenger to (normally C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger) there is a file called lvback.gif, delete this file and if its the actual background image of MSN Messenger then it will be removed.

You don't really need to uninstall first - just running the 'Repair' option should work.

cannbis msn uninsatller must leave it in i'll contact the guy who makes the insatller to fix it

btw it's lvback.gif in your messenger directory which you can change to whatever you want
