Are you using it at work?
If so you may have a Firewall or Proxy Server banning incoming transmissions
like this.....similaly Norton Personal Firewall may do the same thing.

Greetings Tracy,

Due to the way Messenger receives files, any problem receiving files is most likely on the
side of the person sending (when you receive, you connect to your contact and download the
file). This is probably due to either the contact sending having a firewall that isn't allow
Messenger to connect to the correct ports, or not using a router with support for Messenger
file transfer, or an UPnP enabled router and MSN Messenger 5.

Thanks Jonathan

Think you are right. I was 'chatting to someone else on windows messenger
and they managed to send me a file just fine.
Thanks
