Winks by Gamer99 on 06-04-2005 at 11:57 PM

How would i go about adding winks to msn? i downloaded a pack of winks and i don't know what to do

RE: Winks by Zephyr on 06-05-2005 at 12:04 AM

What are the file extensions of the winks in the pack?

There might be an installer in the pack which will add them all to msn.

RE: Winks by Gamer99 on 06-05-2005 at 12:07 AM

there all .mco files
and the installer that came with them, comes up with "content installation failed"

RE: Winks by Zephyr on 06-05-2005 at 12:13 AM

There should be a file called mcoinstall which lets you install the mco files, but it does this individually. I have it attached if it isn't there.

RE: Winks by Gamer99 on 06-05-2005 at 12:15 AM

is that supposed to run a program? because its not doing anything

Sorry, should have explained. You run the file i just attached and it comes up with an Open window. Just browse to the .mco files and double click one. Repeat this for all the .mco files individually.

NB. make sure you are signed in to MSN Messenger while doing this.

Could you give me a link to where you downloaded the pack from and maybe also attach one of the .mco files.

Thanks

Ok, but just making sure that you were signed in to MSN while installing the winks. The content installation failed usually appears when users aren't signed in.

RE: Winks by Zephyr on 06-05-2005 at 03:26 PM

Go to

Look down till you see Attachment, click browse and browse to one of the .mco files and double click it.

I uploaded this .rar file which has loads of winks, moods and smilies. It is 26MB though. It comes with an installer. Just read the readme for instructions.

What file extension is the meego you are adding and how are you adding it.

If it is with mcoinstall, make sure you are signed into MSN Messenger while adding it or it won't work.

RE: Winks by super-schaf on 06-05-2005 at 03:32 PM

i am adding it by clicking download on the website!and then it comes up with "installation failed please try again later."

We are talking about different things then. The problem in the first post was about winks packs. The winks are downloaded onto the computer and they are .mco files. They can then be added using mcinstall which i attached earlier.

RE: Winks by super-schaf on 06-05-2005 at 03:43 PM

oh so i have to create a new thread then?

RE: Winks by RaceProUK on 06-05-2005 at 03:48 PM

A thread this long that discusses two separate problems, and doesn't really solve either?

Can people please post new topics in new threads, and also answer the questions they've been asked?

@super-schaf: You should have created a new thread to start with.
@Gamer99: Can you answer the questions posted please? Like this one:
