I disabled and enabled the script. didn't work.
so I tried removing and reinstalling it. Still didn't work.
The script is not responsible for the picture to be seen or not. You don't need this script to view the background. In fact, you even don't need this script to set your background. So enabling/disabling or even reinstalling the script hasn't got any influence on the background in any way.
The script simply provides a more convenient way to copy your choosen background to a file named lvback.gif, which is in your Messenger folder. That's all.
What the script should do is closing and re-opening your contact list. Did it do that?
And what do you mean by "but the picture never changed"? Do you still have the previous picture visible? Or isn't there a picture at all? Do you have skins installed?

If it did pop up before and now it doesn't, and you have not upgraded to Vista or something, it means something else is wrong with your computer as nothing significant has changed in the script regarding this.
What is the debug output of the script?

The command is "/changebg", without the space.
Either you use it without a parameter to get the interface window: /changebg
Or either you directly set a file name as parameter: /changebg C:\mybackground.jpg

As said above, you can always manually do what the script does: copy your choosen background to the Messenger installation folder and name the image "lvback.gif", then close and re-open your contact list.
Of course, make always sure the choosen image is a valid image. The script does not check upon that.
Note: the file must be named "lvback.gif", thus not "lvback.jpg" or something. The 'gif' extension is important.
Before, it would close and reopen but the image would stay the same. I exited messenger and opened it, then this time the file browser doesn't pop up anymore.
I just tried the " /changebg C:\mybackground.jpg " and it works fine.
Its just the file browser that doesn't pop up whenever I use the interface window.
