Not a valid image file? by evoboy on 02-10-2006 at 07:28 AM

I'm using msn 7.5, and every now and then (well quite often actually) when adding emoticons, especially animated gif's, after selecting the image msn comes up with an error message saying "The file you selected is not a valid image file. Please choose another file". Sometimes if I keep trying it will accept it, others it just wont like me... Is there a patch to fix this somewhere out there???

It may have something to do with the file size or dimensions of the image you're trying to use as the animated emoticon, try using something smaller.

One of the images I was trying is only 6.64KB and I've had some that are 80-200KB that work fine
