[MSN Messenger 6.0 and Windows XP]

I deleted mine before I installed MSN 6 and I've had no problems...weird thing was if I went to Add/Remove Windows components and tried to remove it, the Window MEssenger wasnt listed...how strange.  But no problemo's watsoever.  Plus, if I had Windows Messenger+Msn Messenger, it used to bring both version up on startup, load both up+try to sign me in on both, obviously resulting in all hell let loose! w00t

The reason Windows Messenger does not show in Add/REmove programs is because it is hidden (obvious I know)

To remove it:

edit C:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf. Look for the line starting with "msmsgs" and remove "hide" (leaving the ",") from the end of this line. Goto Control Panel -> Add/Remove -> Windows Components. Windows Messenger should now be listed.

Just so you know

If you want a transparent background you have to save the image as a gif file. What you proberly did was save it as a jpg image, right? Jpeg is vectorbased and there doesn't support transparency (at least not that Im aware of).

I saved it as a .gif in PSP and no matter what combination I use it still has a white border round, even tho I saved it with a transparent background.

It does however always bring a popup box telling me that because of the limitations of this format it will be limited to a single layer and converted to 256 colours, at this point the transparency is wiped from it anyhow.

I think its some weirdness with PSP because I just used Animation Shop after copying the image, pasted it into one of the animation cells (with transparent background intact) and saved, no popup telling me it was dropping the colour to 256 colours and no messy white border.

As i'm new to the forums, Hi all!

Ok my questions are, I have been playing around with the custom emotes option and every one I make has a white background, no matter what file types or if they have a transparent background in PaintShop Pro (5), what do I have to do to get those awful white borders to stop showing? My next question is, I see there are some animated emotes to choose from, how or indeed can I create animated emotes?

Thanks in advance.
