messenger for mac question

[anneleen]

Hi,

I'm not sure this belongs in this topic, but I didn't know where else.

I have a small problem with my msn messenger for mac. It doesn't show my contacts display pictures anymore.
does anyone else have this, or does anyone know how I can correct this?

Thank you!

Use adium

Yup use Adium. But the problem could be a firewall or something blocking the connection.

you have to click on Show Display Pictures, if that doesn't work, you should go to preferences and allow to show pictures..

why would firewall stop pictures being displayed if he is connected?

Who else was expecting this to be a Messenger and webcam question?

Because sometimes firewalls from either side can block the display of pictures. ZoneAlarm for Windows is known to do this.
