When I got to change my display picture an error comes up and says,

'The file you have selscted is not a valid image. Please choose another file.'

It says that for every picture I choose.

Greetings Kennie,

If this is happening for every image you try, this can occur if your display picture database
is damaged in some way.

Assuming you don't mind losing all your display pictures you presently have -- shut down
Messenger, then go to the Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN
Messenger\anumber\UserTile folder.

Where username is your Windows username and anumber is an integer representation of the
Passport e-mail address.

Simply delete all files in the folder, then restart Messenger and try it again.
