Upon opening the list of backgrounds set up on messenger, i click on one of
the backgrounds (which i added from a file which hasn't been moved) MSN
diddn't freeze but just the backgrounds window froze which meant that it
wouldn't move or do anything else. I had to ctrl+alt+delete it (i use win
98). another post said to delete the files in the backgrounds folder but i
have other backgrounds in there and a non-msn standard background is used
too. can anyone help me.

P.S. I will upgrade to XP soon just not at the moment.

Greetings,

Well what you could do is rename the Backgrounds folder (and then readd the non-standard
ones).
