With a conversation open press the "prt scr" button, somewhere in the area above the arrow buttons.  Just to show us a screen shot.

here scrn shot. not sure wot u can get out of it tho

well the display pictures are showing now, unless it just shows the msn guy the whole time. or you did a clean rinstall?

Ok so from what I am getting from this your Display Pic is transfered over find but all your contacts display pics are not correct?

Do you have a proxy set up on the computer that could be preventing files to be sent and DPs to be recieved?

If you are unsure then do this. Open MSN Messenger click Tools > Options > Connection

If I use a proxy server is checked try unchecking it and signing out and back into MSN and see if you can recieve DPs. Now as for the files not being sent do you get an error OR do the contacts just not recieve the invitation.


If you use windows XP you can try removing all of the Display Pictures.
C:\Documents and Settings\%user_name%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Delete all files that are .bins
If you dont see the Local Settings folder you need to show hidden files and folders
(Tools > Folder Options > View > Check Show hidden files and folders and uncheck hide protected system files)

Now in the Temp int files you will have to have the Type column shown to see which are Bin Files.

okay first off, the msn green dude is always there marissa. i used to could see other ppl's pics

2nd, matty - i tried the full reinstall thing. i delete those registry keys n installed them again. still didnt work.

now, when some tries to send me file, it says it cant be saved or somethng? it tells me to choose diff name/file or woteva. then i do, but then the dl wont start, n it cancels by itself.

i just did this just then

this is soooo gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do u know ne other possible reasons y this wont work?
does msn have a contact email? for help?

oh, i forgot to add, my chat logs, the XML documents, for some reason, few wks ago, changed from being PERSON1@hotmail.com to PERSON1@3459093405

n then i noticed all these new contacts on my list????

but then couple days later, it worked out fine

so can u receive the file?

Yes, it pops up the save file dialog. And i just enter the filename and it does it

when some1 sends me file, i click accept, then the attached pic message pops up.

ne1 know wot it means?

Did you try the clean reinstall I suggested?

Go to Messenger > Tools > Options > Messages. Check that the selected folders for file transfers and chat logging exist.
