• Answer:

  Its important to keep your IE up to date and the support software for it - Flashplayer - Java - Shockwaveplayer. Use the links on this page to access these programs. Even if you have another browser set as default IE links it to Yahoo Messenger http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/messenger10/notices/mstabuguqscripterror.html Check your multimedia settings in IE 8 > Tools > Internet options > Advanced > Multimedia - check all boxes except Show image download placeholder > OK If its a new photo have it ready to pick up on your desktop, unless its easy to find in your system Open messenger window. Left click on your avatar picture Select "display image" Select "share my picture" Select "select" Select a random picture - by clicking on it - (to make sure it changes & your IE Flashplayer is ok) Select the picture you want to display, if its not one in the gallery, click "browse" and find the photo you want - double click on it,make sure its in the display panel. Note sometimes the image will be blacked-out. This will either be an INTERNET EXPLORER Flashplayer problem (even if you have another browser set as default) or the file you selected the photo from has numbers or / ., etc in the file name - you can try renaming the file. Click "OK" in top photo panel Make sure "share my picture" is still selected Click "OK" When you open the chat window the display images may be hidden - look for the little "head and shoulder" icon with an arrow pointing to it on the right hand side of the window - click on this to show pictures.
