Lately I have noticed that occassionally when I change my status on MSN, or when I get a toast, the systray icon doesnt change as it should, or freezes at the wrong time. It is still perfectly operational with left and right click.

I was able to ignore the above problem but now MSN is using strange new symbols instead of the . I am seeing the picture shown below for online status and offline has an icon which looks similar to the window not responding icon.

I can still use the icon perfectly but it seems strange that I am getting these new icons for no apparent reason.

Windows Version: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger Client Version: 7.0.0816
Messenger Plus! Version: 3.54.0132

umm how to correct that i think is..you need to go into  i think directorie

C:/PROGRAM FILES/MSN MESSENGER an locate that same icon an change it back to the MSN icon ..

It has gone back to the correct icon by itself but it stil gets "stuck" (see screenshot)
