My msn messenger keeps changing back to default settings each time i reboot! For example, I keep becoming the dude on the motorcycle :ro: , and the background changes back to the default bland background.

anyone know how to fix this?

Sounds like a bad install to me, so try reinstalling.

minimal: if you’re referring to the background, yes, I selected my background to be default, but it always changes back to the default default.

Voets: thanks for the suggestion, will try that.

For me it’s also the emoticons. Gawd, it takes some (awful lot of) time to individually add these, and then once out of 3-4 times they’re just GONE…

_scks!_
