can some one help i am constantly unable to add emoticons no matter how many times i try i keep getting the same message not a valid image file

Then it isn't a standards-compliant file. Open it in a graphics program and resave it.

what do u mean i said everytime i try to add and emoticon it comes up not a valid image file so when i right click on an emoticon that someone has sent to says not a valid image file

you cant really save emoticons you see in the conversation window.   you need the picture files sent to you then open them in somthing like paint and then go to file save as then save it and then go into msn and add that emoticon

honestly really do u know what u are talking bout when u are talking to someone in the coversation window they send emoticons and yes u can add them i really think u should know what u are talking bout b4 u tell me what it is that is hould b doing but thank u anyway

can you post your version numbers of messenger, windows and plus; with any additional plugins you may use.

i use messenger 7.5 no plugins or addons

So when someone IMs you a message that contains an emoticon, you right-click it, then click Add... It gives you that message? It should give you a window that confirms the saving of that emoticon and the keyboard shortcut that your buddy uses.

yes the window comes up to confirm but when i click on save it says it is a valid image file

If it's a valid image file then it should work fine.

I think you need to know what you're talking about before you come on here flaming other members. Be more clear about what you say.
