I can’t explain this but I’ve just rebuilt my PC installing XP Pro on a virgin hard drive. Now I have installed Messenger 6.1 and MgsPlus 2.50. Previously on an older install of XP when I received a picture in Messenger I would get a message under the file telling me I have received the file and double clicking it would open it in preview mode using Windows Picture & Fax viewer.

Now when I receive a picture (JPG for example) I simply get an Open option under the file. Clicking on Open simple opens “My Received Files” and it does NOT preview the picture. I have JPG and JPEG associated with the Windows Picture & Fax Viewer so I’m lost why this is happening. Any ideas please?

Unless the path for your recieved files is ‘C:My DocumentsMessenger Service Received Files’ , the path link will not show up in your messenger window.

The path is “D:My DocumentsMy Received Files” and always has been. It used to work before!!!

When I click on File, “Open Received Files” it opens that folder.
