When trying to download anything related to Messenger in the Windows Live Gallery, I receive this prompt: Windows Live Gallery - Add to Messenger - This feature is only available in Internet Explorer 6.0 and above (I'm using IE8)
I posted this question to the Windows Live Gallery Forum> Gallery> Message Board> Gallery Items Discussions http://boards.msn.com/Windows%20Live%20Gallery%20Forumboards/thread.aspx?threadid=659587&boardsparam=PostID%3D34261577
on October 6, 2009. It has been viewed nearly 900 times and at least three other users have indicated having the same problem, but no suggestion or reply has been made.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
PS I'm fairly certain it has nothing to do with my User-Agent String

Charliemor45 Tweaking Rob's suggestion a little bit, I was able to find a work-around to fix this problem (temporarily at least) if you care to try it.• Using UAPicker (Install UAPick)
• Select the User-Agent String Template for IE7 on Vista (not IE6 & XP)
• (Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1))
• Make sure you're signed into Messenger
• You should now be able to download Messenger display pics, etc from Live Gallery

- It worked perfectly, the Emoticons and backgrounds are in my messenger.

Nice work Krittermattel
AWESOME. I was a little worried that it was going to be one of those 'fickle' fixes that only works for me (one time)
I'm really glad it worked for you too. I posted the answer in the Live Gallery Forum (which I still believe is a joke) as there were more than a half dozen folks with the same problem (and no answer)
BTW, I downloaded as many display pics as I could when I first realized it worked (in case fixing it didn't 'last' :>) lol
|krittermattel|Not only that, I have put in my flash drive.
Should I need to reinstall Windows 7, I shall have that handy tool ready to hit the ground running.
Again, really nice work.
I also agree that the Live forum is a joke, perhaps, posting the URL to this place might help people??
Just a thought.
Again thanks, Krittermattel, for a job very well done.- I actually did include the link(s) to MSAnswers Forums in my post to Windows Live Gallery Fourm hee hee :>)
|krittermattel| Oops, yeah, I remembered that, ho ho :)
Many thanks again.- Proposed As Answer bycharliemor45 Saturday, November 07, 2009 12:57 PM
