Weird problem. Everyone is online

[dbc]

Hey, I am using MSN Messenger 6.1 running on WinXP and all from a sudden, it started to show everyone with a green icon on them, as if they were all online. But it still shows between () that the user is offline. I also have Windows Messenger installed on the same comp, and it got the same bug. I already tried to uninstall/reinstall MSN Messenger (in two differente languages english and portuguese) but it didnt seem to solve the problem. I am attaching an image, so you all can have a better idea of what is going on.

Thanks,
dbc

I have personally never seen this problem. Have you installed any addons with Messenger? Which exact version do you have? If no one can assist you, I suggest contacting Microsoft if it's a bug.

I am running MSN Messenger version 6.1 (6.1.0211) with no addons. How can I know if it's a bug or not?

Your display drivers are incompatible with MSN Messenger 6.

I presume you're running nVidia (just to show you I know what I'm talking about here)

All you have to do is downgrade your nVidia display driver from 5x to whatever is lower..if you aren't running nVidia, then downgrade the drivers you are using. Downgrade/rollback, they mean the same thing.

wtf why is it in spanish lol...

Because MSN Messenger comes in many languages. As dbc mentioned, he downloaded the portuguese version.

ES, thanks for clearing the air
