O.P. Using a Live Webcam image as my MSN Picture...
I can put a link to my live webcam url and it actually works however the webcam updates evey minute and MSN does not. Is there any way I can get MSN to automatically refresh the image every minute?

A program was made that could change your display pic automatically once in a while. Maybe you could use this to automatically update it every minute.

The program was mentioned in http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=14796.

Yep that works a treat, cheers Tochjo! Only prob is it's another program I have to install and have sit in the system tray. Do you think the same thing could be done but as a plugin?

There already is a plugin that does that...either search this forum for Display Picture Changer or I'll see if I can find the file on my pc and attach it to a message here.
