There isn’t really a quick and easy export-import method, but you can try finding the individual emoticion files and copy them to the other computer so you can re-add them. On Windows 98, I think they are stored in C:WindowsApplication DataMSN Messenger123123123CustomEmoticons
123123123 being a number which represents your MSN Messenger e-mail.
The files should all be .dat, but the contents are PNG images. So just rename them, changing .dat to .png, that way you will be able to open them and see them, then you might want to rename them again based on what the image actually is.
Once you have all the PNG files, you can move them to the other computer and add them.
You can also do the same for display pictures, they are stored in C:WindowsApplication DataMSN Messenger123123123UserTile
Remember 123123123 can be anything, just go to C:WindowsApplication DataMSN Messenger and go through all the sub-folders.
I don’t usually give it out, but e-mail and MSN Messenger: me@danielwinter.info
What you saw is called “Characters with Moods”, a type of Dynamic Display Picture(s) which are provided by partner MSN sites, and aren’t free unfortunately. The ones from the Packs button in IM window toolbars are free though.
But I think what you want to do is use your own flash file or animated image, unfortunately that’s not possible – I think they’re more interested in making money.
This is starting to look really good, I’ve felt for a while that each IM service should have its own section, should be a good success.
Thanks for the mentor offer 😀

I don’t think I’ve ever introduced myself here, I just barged in 😛 I’m Daniel, a Web developer from New Zealand. I’m behind a few services and resources for MSN Messenger, which earnt me an MVP award. I’ll try and post here a bit more often, it’s hard finding the time but this place is really cool.
Woah, I wasn’t expecting to see my name here, that was an interesting surprise 😮
I’m not active enough to know who to vote for, so I won’t.
I think the behaviour you were seeing before with chosing any colour was because of Messenger Plus!, just download and install it again from http://www.msgplus.net/
Lol, there must be some other New Zealanders here! I wouldn’t mind going to Australia for it, anywhere else will break my bank 😛
This is really odd, it’s because your Microsoft Passport country is set to Portugal. I was just reading in the beta newsgroups that someone from Portugal has the same issue. Weird bug 😐
You could try changing your country setting in member services if you really want it. I’m puzzled as to why it would do that.
The error is happening in MsgPlusH.dll, which is part of Messenger Plus!, and you’re using version 3.40, which is not compatible with MSN Messenger 7. Try upgrading to version 3.52 at http://www.msgplus.net/download.php and it should be fixed.
It sounds a bit strange, but it’s a problem with your account, you will need to contact MSN support services at http://messenger.msn.com/help/contactus.aspx, just mention that error number you are getting.
I’ve only ever seen it greyed out while being signed in, make sure you’re signed out when trying my suggestions.
Try checking your connection settings: in the main Messenger window, go to Tools -> Options, and go to the “Connection” section. In here, click the “Test Connection” button and it should run the Connection Troubleshooter. If it doesn’t find any problems, click “Advanced Settings” in the connection section and make sure the checkbox next to TCP is ticked. (see this screenshot)
