    - MSN Messenger 6 doesn't display lvback.gif in contacts area anymore 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 Tag: Update Tag: 32688

    - Messenger 6 keeps saying it needs to be updated I have a curious problem that has affected a few installs of MSN Messenger 6. At our University we have been using "remote assistance" to a great extent but suddently on the aforementioned PC's Messenger will announce that "remote assistance is not supported on this version of Messenger. Please upgrade to version 6". When viewing the Help Menu to see "about MSN Messenger" is says that version 6 is installed. Anyone have a clue why this might be happening? TIA Tag: Update Tag: 32683

    - Problem with MSN Messenger. Hi, I am having a problem with MSN Messenger version 6.0. As soon as I turn on my computer Msn tries to access the internet whether I am on line or not. Even when recording music from LPs to CDs it keeps trying to access the net; The problem is so bad that there are gaps in the music on the newly created CDs where I have clicked the Cancel button on the dial up box as the music is actually being transferred to the CD. The tracker icon pops out with the message, [ C;\Program files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe is preparing to access the internet.] How can I solve this problem so that MSN Messenger only accesses the internet when I want it to and does not interfere with my other programs / work, when I am off line. Thank you kindly for any information you can give me to correct this problem. Tag: Update Tag: 32663

When another MSN Messenger user sends me an email at my Hotmail account, I can send them an instant message by clicking on the little MSN Messenger icon next to their name in my Hotmail inbox (providing they are online at the time).

    - MEssenger upload problem Hi, Not sure how to explain this problem properly... but I'll try. I'm chatting a mate on msn messenger 6, and choose to send him a file (mp3, zip of photos I've taken etc). After a short while (usually between 1 and 2 Mb of the upload), y internet connection stops working... or at least something seems to set up a block. MSN messenger signs out, and when i try to sign back in it tells me I'm set up through a proxy or a firewall etc... The only way I can solve this is to reboot. The problem only started happening AFTER i installed the latest service pack from Windows Update, and subsequently installed the USB 2.0 Controller using the sp1 drivers (new computer, motherboard CD didn;'t have proper drivers for it)! If my connection cut off, I'd blame that, but, I stay connected to the internet, just can't do anythign with it! When I try to reconnect after disconnecting, I can't and have to reboot. I@m not sure which group should be reading this post, but, as the problem seems to be triggered by sending files in Messenger 6, I'll start here! Any help GRATEFULLY received!!!
