Running WinXP pro and MSN Messenger 6.0.0602

I had placed a custom lvback,gif file into my messenger folder and messenger
has been displaying it for awhile now (months), as the background on the
main contact page. Yesterday when I booted up, the gif no longer showed up.
I checked and it was still there. I replaced it with another file just in
case but it does not show either. I copied the original lvback.gif over from
Windows Messenger5 and tried it but it too does not showup.

I uninstalled it, removed its folder in c:\program files as well as the
folder in my documents & settings folder in the application section. i
reinstalled it and still no gif shows up, even though one is there. I don't
know if there is a reg setting somewhere or what.

Like I said, it was working okay, I don't know what may have happened.
Anybody have any ideas?
TIA.

Bill
