Would this be the cause of my little problem? Whenever I restart (WLM) my saved login information, and custom emoticons are gone.

as far as the built in sounds not working..in my case it was a simple case of renaming my custom emoticons so that the name didnt match the command name...eg..if you have a smiley that appears when you type ''hello'...you will need to change the name..eg ''hellooo'' so that the ''hello - built in sound command '' doesnt clash with it...try it it worked for me...no reinstalling and deleting stuff

I have uninstalled windows live messenger, then deleted every folder that looked like "msn messenger" then reinstalled WLM and messenger plus live from the officials websites but it still don't work....if someone has an idea....


PS: Excuse me if i don't speak english very well but i'm french.

I am having the same issue.  Thanks.

the same happened to me, in my case there was too many scripts working.

as soon as i were deactivating them, i recovered the sounds and others functions.

Hi guys. What I experience is this: whenever I use a custom smiley, either I see key sequence in my window and my chatting buddy sees the correct icon, or the opposite (I see icon and he/she sees the icon key sequence letters).
Maybe if I uninstall all and after deleting the messenger folder it will work, but my question is:
how can I save my custom smiley and avoid loosing them during this operation? I would like to use them again once everything is fixed! Thanks for suggestions.

Custom emoticons are not stored in the Program Files folder and you will still have them after following the steps in the original post. That said, this thread is about problems with a few of Messenger Plus's features and not of Windows Live Messenger's features (such as custom emoticons), and furthermore since this thread is almost 2 and a half years old the instructions are a bit outdated as the new Messenger folder is located at "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger".
I'm not sure what the problem could be if this issue appears to occur randomly, perhaps a reinstallation of Messenger could solve the solution. Also make sure you have emoticons enabled in 'Tools > Options > Messages' (I think that's where it's located but I don't have access to Messenger at the moment so cannot confirm it).

If you have no luck resolving the issue I would recommend posting a new thread altogether as it is somewhat irrelevant to this 2 year old thread
