Messenger Icons are all green, even those offline

[Sjeik Spier]

I'm using MSN Messenger 6.1
Since a few days the icons for the contacts are all green, even those of the
off line ones.
Tried to uninstall and reinstall Messenger, no success.
Solutions ?

Problem seems to be Windows Update of NVIDIA driver.

Just restore to checkpoint before update.

Problem goes away.

Hi Bob,

Do you happen to know which driver version WindowsUpdate gives you that causes this problem?

Hi Jonathan,

It seems to be the NVIDIA display software update released on October 06
2003
More users seem to have the same problem : check out the thread on this
forum on november 11th about "corrupted Messenger Icons"

Hi Jonathan

I have an NVIDIA RIVA TNT 2 MODEL 64 on a DELL
XPS T700r on Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 1.
MSN Messenger 6.1 (6.1.0155) and Windows Messenger
5.0 (5.0.0381)

Last driver version that WORKS is 4.5.2.3

Dont know version that causes problem but it is the
October 6 driver update on Windows Update.

If you examine supported hardware on update there is
a great long list of cards including RIVA TNT2 MODEL 64.
