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

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.

Can someone, who knows a lot about PCs, also with MSN knowledge!!! tell me how to see the emoticons on [version 7] MSN. instant messenger I upgraded to MSN version 7!!!! but when I send or recieve an emoticon it only shows the letters! [like :-) or ;-) etc] On 6.2 it showed what you sent or recieved, as an emoticon/smilie etc.!!!!?????? Thank you all, who take a chance, to look at this, maybe to some people, a silly thread!!!! Fingers and toes crossed!!!!!! lol Val
