If I were you, I would need all the help I can get. But if you are so picky in finding people to help, then I will not try to help. All I asked was a simple JPEG image of the message that you get. It's not a hard thing to do unless you're too lazy. But if you want to solve this problem, you will have to work with us. Giving us a screenshot will give us a chance to see what it really is. Some people can tell by a simple picture (because of an old saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words.").

On your keyboard press a key called PrtScn (located at the upper-left). Then open Paint (accessed by Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint). Hold down Ctrl and press V. Then go to the File menu and click on Save, and in File Type choose JPEG. Now attach it to your post.

---------------------------
MSN Messenger
---------------------------
The file you selected is not a valid image file. Please choose another file.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------
that is what comes up

then just make the person you are talking to send you the emoticon with the send files or pictures button above the text box of the conversation.

i have done that b4 problem being that with msn if u cant add the emoticons that people are sending then u cant create them either

Try re-installing MSN Messenger here. Then come back and post what happened.

ok... this happened out of the blue?
..if so you can try reinstalling

Versions of Plus! and Windows?

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.

To be fair, [MR] gave incorrect advice.

Ideally, the full version numbers of Messenger and Plus!, Windows version, the steps you take that lead to the problem, and any error messages that appear (exact wording please). Also, can you attach the offending image file(s)?

Edit: Leo's advice (below) is good too

Try clearing your Temporary Internet Files

To do that: open Internet Explorer => go to the Tools menu => Internet Options... => in the General tab click on the "Delete files..." button.
