Messenger forget my display picture everytime i turn my pc off.

Im using Messenger 7.0.777 on Windows XP Home with SP2 and all updates since installed.

personnal settings>security>uncheck "this is a shared computer so don't store my address book, display picture or background on it"

try that

it was already unchecked

Try this:
1. Quit MSN Messenger
2. Select Start > Run
3. Type '%appdata%' and hit Enter
4. Navigate into the MSN Messenger folder, then into the folder whose number matches your e-mail address (use this program to work it out)
5. Delete the UserTile folder

Now you should be able to restart Messenger and re-add your DPs.

that hasn't worked either, it just removed all the custom pictures that messenger shows in the change display picture window

Which should hopefully fix the problem you were having.

It worked when i restarted messenger but when i restarted my computer it lost it again.

I'm having a similiar problem but it seems that I have no default pictures at all in my folder and when I download a picture to use as a display photo it shows until I actually MSN someone and then I get like a quick flash of a beige (no error message) and then my MSN is ready to communicate with however I want but no display photo.

Does anyone know what's happening?  I already deleted and re-installed twice so I don't think that is a solution.

Can anyone that is having this problem uninstall Messenger Plus! and try without Messenger Plus! installed. There was a previous bug where it did this but it was supposed to be solved.

I'm not sure if that is really the problem.  I have three desktops - 2 running Windows XP Pro and 1 running Windows XP Home and they all have MSN 7.0 and 3.5 Plus.  Only one desktop is having this problem - if it was a bug with Plus would not everyone and every machine not be having this problem??
