HELP!! My husband is in Iraq so I need this fixed!?

Question

I downloaded MSN Windows Live 8.0 and there is no way for me to put up my display image and I can't see other's as well. I had 7.0 and 7.5 and I could upload a picture to be next to my name but not this time and this is suppose to be better. It is important to me that I can see my husband when we talk online and vise versa. Is there something I am missing? I looked everywhere on my messenger it seems and NOTHING!?! Can I get 7.5 back?

Answer 1

I really doubt whether you checked it very well. I'm using MSN Live messenger and I put up my display image on there. Anyway, go to MSN messenger's menubar, then tools> options> personal and see under "My Display Picture". Check the box for "Show my display picture and allow others to see it". Then, click on "Change picture" and then browse your desired picture here. Make sure the "don't show a picture" below is UNchecked. Now click "OK".

Ask your husband whether he can see your picture now. Make sure he is also using Windows Live.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

i am hoping this helps. go to your add/remove programs and scroll down and see if the 7.0 or7.5 program is still in the list
as well as the 8.0 . if they are,and i mean at least the 7.0 or7.5 version leave them alone. then remove the 8.0. then reboot the system. then you should be able to use 7.5 version. if this hasn't helped you may need to contact microsoft to resolve this.
this situation is the reason why i never, and i mean never upgrade to a new release of a product until it has had all the bugs worked out of it and sometimes that may take months. heck, i still haven't upgraded to xp yet because i still don't fully trust it, or the upgrade for ie. i truly hope this helps and thank your husband for me for protecting our freedom and country.
