O.P. Receiving files?
'lo all.

My msn seems to not like me receiving files, particularly pictures. The file comes across, then it reads something along the lines of:

"  You have failed to receive file "DSCN0112.JPG" from A Target that I'm probably gonna miss.
 
  You have successfully received C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\My Received Files\DSCN0112.JPG from A Target that I'm probably gonna miss.  "

The file isn't in the named directory, or anywhere on the computer. Tis very annoying, somebody help me!

RE: Receiving files?
Are you clicking 'Accept'? I have problems with that, so I use 'Save As' imstead, and that works fine.

When i click accept it tells me:

basically means it's a bug in Messenger. Use 'Save As...': it works for me ;)
