I'm sure if you go into options, there's an opton that says to allow emoticons. Sadly I can't run it at work so I can't check. If you're still having trouble tonight, I'll look into it when I get home.

It may be that it shows you one thing but your recipients actually get the emoticon Ann Glos

val msn 7.0 is only a beta version (test) ,not yet completely compatible with 6.2 as yet,thats y the emoticons are like that and also you cannot play games with someone on 6.2 or couldnt unless theyve got round that one yet. just as a matter of interest i was told that beta versions are not completely security complete and could leave your comp open to hackers ok my sunday girl keith xx
