| Guest | Contact pictures Hi, I've been using Live Messenger 2009 since ~1 month now. Everything works fine but since a few days I can not see the pictures of my contacts anymore (in main window. I see them in conversation windows)... Wierd, I did not change anything. Actually I only see the pictures of my contacts who have internal WLM pictures, but no "personal" pictures. Any clue? |

| Guest | Re: Contact pictures Greetings Jerome, Is it just the standard gray-coloured empty buddy icon or the just the small coloured square icon? I'm sure you are probably aware of this already, but one of the features of 2009 is that it shows some categories as pictures as opposed to the status squares for the other categories. Is it possible that's what you reseeing? You can configure this by pressing the Alt key on the keyboard, choosing the Tools menu, then Options, then the Layout section and under the Contact list heading will be the options for modifying the defaults. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Jerome" <Jerome@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:3A7ED1BE-A3BD-46B9-B7CB-2FCE44D7249C@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi, > > I've been using Live Messenger 2009 since ~1 month now.

| Guest | Re: Contact pictures Hi Jonathan, thanks for your reply. It was the gray-coloured empty buddy icon that I saw. And yes I'm aware of this new feature of WLM 2009 but it was definitely a kind of bug, not a problem of settings. Anyway, I closed WLM this evening and started it again and now it seems that personal pictures of my contacts are back... No clue about what happened, maybe I should just restart my computer more often!!

| Guest | Re: Contact pictures Hi, Besides being a bug, it's possible that you'd run out of desktop heap or some other resource in the system. Well at least it's resolved  -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Jerome" <Jerome@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:A1B6C0C5-1EAF-4A27-9786-1BAB19BB591D@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi Jonathan, > > thanks for your reply.
