I can't add new emoticons...

[Luca]

When I try to add a new emoticon (for example, copying a emoticon displayed
from a contact) MSN (new version, 7.5) say everytime : "Invalid image file.
Try with another file" .

I think than this happens because I've installed all the patch for msn (with
Windows Update); If i remove, in Application Data/Microsoft/MsnMessenger...,
the folder with my number (where are saved emoticon, animoticon,
settings...) I Can add new emoticons...

What can I do to resolve the problem ?

Thank You and sorry for my bad ( ? ) english ...)

Greetings Luca,

It sounds like your emoticon store has been broken, you'll need to rename the 'Emoticons'
folder within your client cache folder (App Data/Microsoft/MSN Messenger/number) and then
start adding your emoticons again from scratch.
