RE: Conversation Backgrounds
I have this same problem. I consecutively uploaded about 15 pictures (they were a bit large) to my Backgrounds. Then, when I tried opening any one of them, all of MSN freezes and I have to open Task Manager and "end now" everything.
I've tried uninstalling MSN and reinstalling again, no luck.
I've tried going to:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\<msn id>\Backgrounds
But once I get to Microsoft, there isn't even a MSN Messenger file.
I can upload a background right now and it will work. But when I try clicking on anyone of the 15 backgrounds I consecutively opened, it freezes. I can't even remove them because it freezes, I guess when trying to show the preview picture.
Please help!!!!!!!

EDIT... ITS FIXED!
My sister was on our other computer which shares the same files. So she shared the same backgrounds that were frozen with me. Then, they started to work! I could click on the ones that she shared that used to freeze! Same picture from the same file. So we continued to share all of them so I could at least click on them and delete them. When we were nearly done, I checked my Backgrounds list and they were all gone. Back to normal. Weird. But now I can upload pictures and I'll be careful to only upload a few at a time and a maximum of 9 or 10.

Edit
Minor setback... I logged out of MSN and signed back in later and my backgrounds again were all gone. Have to upload them again. Weird.
