Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / August 2008display pics in messemger
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: intel I can only see certain display pics of my contacts.. some show up some don't.. my display pic is there I have 7.01 but it was like that in 6.03 also any ideas? I have exactly the same problem on all my three Macs. If you ask your contact to change to another pic, that pic will show in your chat window. If he/she then changes back to the first pic you will be able to see that one as well. Very strange indeed. I have the same problem on my new mac. I cant even change my display picture.... I also can't change my display picture. If I try to change it to one of the Messenger icons, nothing happens. When I try to use my own photo, it tells me the file format isn't correct. It's frustrating! Here's some advice Rebecca Harriss posted: 1. Go to your ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data folder and inside there is the Microsoft Messenger Data folder. When Messenger IS NOT launched move this folder to the desktop. Then launch Messenger, sign-in and try to change your display picture. If the above doesn't work, please try the following: Launch Messenger, but don't sign-in Choose the option to "Sign in with a different account . . ." Click Clear Account History . . . Click Clear History Now click Sign-in and enter your credentials again If that doesn't work, Launch Messenger Sign-in Go to View | Conversation History then close the History window Now go to your display picture and see if you can change it On 7/10/08 5:50 PM, in article 59b5378a.2@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, "Jen" > I also can't change my display picture.

SignatureMickey Stevens (Microsoft MVP for Office:mac) Office & Mac Resources: <http://home.earthlink.net/~mickey.stevens/> Any news on the problem with contact's display pics? I asked one contact to do that and they didn't know how to change their display pic.. I'll wait till my daughter is on sometime and I'll ask her to change her pic and see if I can see it. Funny how some contacts pics come thru and some don't weird. did that on 6.03 too Ok had my daughter change her pic & I saw the pic she changed to but then she changed her display pic back to one she had before and I couldn't see anymore :( On 7/17/08 12:25 PM, in article 59b5378a.6@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > Ok had my daughter change her pic & I saw the pic she changed to but then she > changed her display pic back to one she had before and I couldn't see anymore > :( Hi! Is your daughter using a custom display picture (rather than one of the default ones included with Messenger)? Can you tell me what format the image was in? This is usually easy to figure out by looking at the extension in the file name. For instance, if the image is named "mypicture.jpg", then it is a jpg image. Thanks for your assistance in troubleshooting this behavior :) --- Zack Moxley a-zamox@online.microsoft.com (remove ³online.² for any direct replies) Microsoft Corporation Macintosh Business Unit This posting is provided ³AS IS² with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I did see the one she changed to but then lost it when she changed back to the dog pic she said the dog's picture was In .jpg form the pic I saw was in .gif form any news on this prob??? On 7/23/08 4:05 PM, in article 59b5378a.11@webcrossing.caR9absDaxw, > any news on this prob??? I'm having some trouble reproducing this behavior locally. Is your daughter using Mac Messenger or Windows Live Messenger? --- Zack Moxley a-zamox@online.microsoft.com (remove ³online.² for any direct replies) Microsoft Corporation Macintosh Business Unit This posting is provided ³AS IS² with no warranties, and confers no rights. she uses windows live messenger I'm having the same problem, I can't see my contact's display picture. When I ask them to change it, I can see the new one, but when I ask them to change it back I can't see the old one. The original file was a jpg, and the new pics he changed it to were jpg as well. All custom pictures, no Messenger icons. Forgot to add, all my contacts use Windows Live Messenger. |
