Emoticons on Windows Live Messenger?microsoft net framework internet explorer

ask your friends to upgrade their windows messenger.

that's the easiest way to solve.
Oh, sometimes its a unsolvable problem I also has it sometimes, cant see the emotions. But now I can. Perhaps down-grade your messenger back to 8.1 . I am using 8.1 now! By the way, where to get 8.5?
