Smilies on windows xp home edition

Hello Everyone. was wondering if anyone can help me solve a problem that I am having with msn messenger. I have lost the use of the emotions? It happened when i updated a microsoft update for xp. I have restored the computer and even removed the update but to no avail? I have even removed messenger from my computer and downloaded it again and it still will not work. I also can not send files or photos to anyone with msn messenger or trillian? With the emotions I can send them out as coded but the pictures will not transfer. I am not that swift with the computer yet and would appreciate any suggestions. I should mention that I am on highspeed. Thanks....Lynne

For the emoticons:
What you can try is in your Windows Messenger - go to Tools > Options... > Personal. Under the 'My Message Text' header, make sure the lil' 'Show graphics (emoticons) in instant messages' is checked off.

For the files:
Make sure your internet firewall isn't on. To check, go to Control Panel > Network Connections. Right click on your current connection and go to Properties > Advanced. Under 'Internet Connection Firewall', make sure the Protect my comuter and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet' isn't checked off.

Windows XP updates shouldn't affect Messengers at all (so far).

Hi There. I have checked off the use emotions tab in msn messenger. I went to check the network connection firewall tab and that one is not clicked either. However when i pressed the network set up wizard there is a tab that says in there to allow access to your FTP. Now would that need to be ticked off to allow file transfers or whould it be unsafe? It seems that I am missing a component for the emotions. I have even checked to see if I have the same number of files for messenger as everyone elso and i do???? so what happened to their capability of working...if I can write the code and they get the picture but I can not send the picture? something is lost in there somewhere but I have no idea where to begin to look?

Hmmm..
*completely puzzled*
Have you skinned your Messenger?
Have you rebooted or turned your computer off since you re-installed?

Send a message via AIM to magistyk
Are you using a router? Or are you on a corporate network?

Lynne, are you sure you have Windows Messenger installed? Not MSN Messenger?
MSN messenger will not function properly on Windows XP.
