How do I get the default windows live messenger backgrounds back? I seem to
have lost all of mine somehow.

I'm afraid you'll have to reinstall WLM.

from the microsoft webpage, but it didn't get me my default backgrounds back.
any other ideas?

Greetings,

To do so, shut down Messenger by right-clicking on its icon in the notification area and
choosing Exit. Click Start, then Run, type "%appdata%\microsoft\msn messenger" and click OK.
Then find the folder associated to your account (if you're not sure which it is, just do this
to each) and go into it. Right-click the Backgrounds folder and choose Delete. Say Yes to
the prompt and then sign back into Messenger.
