I haven’t log out my Windows Live Messenger for quite some time until the recent Windows Update which forces me to restart my computer and so I restarted my computer and shutting off everything running. When I re-sign in the Windows Live Messenger, a window popped up. “Happy 10-Year Anniversary, Messenger”.

So now I know that the Live Messenger is now 10 years old, which means that I have uses the Messenger for 9 years. My first login to MSN Messenger was in 2000 and my first email was hotmail which created in 1999. At that time, I didn’t know about the messenger and IM yet, I only know how to email and MIRC chatroom, I was really young as I was only 7 years old in 1999. If I am not mistaken, the first few contact in my MSN Messenger were my brother’s, my cousin sister’s and a primary school friend. I thought him how to sign up for Hotmail and download MSN Messenger and we chatted online once in a while.

Till today, I don’t really chat a lot on Live Messenger (previously known as MSN Messenger). I more likely to stick with social networking. There’s like almost 1000 contacts in my Live Messenger right now and I guess I need to do some cleaning on the contact list to delete some unknown contacts. One problem of having so many contact is that I can hardly sign in my account on the iPod touch IM app.

Talking back to the Happy 10-Year Anniversary Messenger thing, they offered a free gift pack which is a theme pack for the latest Live Messenger. I was curious so I went to download it, then install it.

I kinda regret installing it, the theme is ugly and it changes your conversation window’s background and your display picture. I got no idea how to remove the theme pack.

Then I found out some solution, change back the scene to the original one, then change you display picture back to your own photo and lastly, change your backgroundand remember to click on Set Default on the down-right corner of the Backgrounds window. =)
