O.P. msn display picture changer (auto)
before you reply to me that there's already a couple scripts like this... i already know and tried. they are great but it doesn't do one thing. it is limited intervals. one only goes up to 9000 seconds... the other 900 minutes or so. anymore and it goes back to default. isn't there any that are unlimited? is it hard to do or something? i like to change my pics/gifs every 48 hours. there is a program that does this but it doesnt support gif and thats what i want ;/

these are the two scripts i've tested. i love em but yeah. limited intervals suck.

Not really, since the counter starts after you've signed in to messenger, and it's mostly unprobable that someone is able to let Messenger up and running for 48 hours in a row.
Anyways, don't know if it is impossible.

It's very possible using the date object in JScript... If you format a date string properly, you can use a simple
Javascript code:
if(now_time >= time_to_change){
 ChangeDP();
}


which will include date and time differences :p

But then shouldn't the computer be turned on for those whole 48 hours?

the program i used for normal jpg display pictures was MSN Pictures Displayer: http://www.msnpd.org/

unfortunately it's not a script for Messenger Plus live so it sits in the system tray... but you can put over 48 hours. shame it doesn't support gif. anyhow, i would rather use a script on msn instead of that.
