profile display pics (or lack of)
I have recently got Windows XP Home edition on a
computer. I also have windows MSN Messenger. Recently i have had problems changing my on screen profile picture. It used to be that i could right click a picture, save it and then i could select it by browsing about My Pictures and selecting it. On this new system not only does it save all pictures as BMP or ART when i try to access them for my MSN display picture it says: "The image can't be displayed or resized. Please try again or select another image." I wish to know if i can save such pictures as jpegs and use them as my display picture. thankyou |

profile display pics (or lack of)
Hi,
You'll see this error if the images are too large, you might want to resize them in a photo editor (the actual size of the display pictures are 96x96, so you should aim for that). You can however, use BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, JFIF, JPE, or PNG as a display picture. ART is not supported however. If you're trying to save images from Internet Explorer, and they're only saving in BMP, you'll need to empty your Internet Explorer cache. To do so, click the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, then Internet Options, then choose 'Delete Files'. After this is complete, close Internet Explorer and restart it. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "carpenter" wrote in message ...
