picture on messenger

I have 2 computers with Windows Live Messenger (both have version
8.1.0178.00, both are XP SP2 with all available updates added). When I open
WLM on computer A, it shows the picture that I chose above my email address
(before signing into WLM). On computer B, there is no such picture. I have
compared the Tools/Options (all tabs) on both computers and they appear to be
exactly the same. As soon as I sign in to WLM on the second computer, it
shows my picture so I know that I have selected one for my profile.

So, my question is, how do I get my picture to appear on the second
computer? What am I missing?

Greetings,

The 'Remember Me' option has to be on in the main dialog and the window has to be big enough
to accommodate the picture (otherwise it disappears).

Thank you! You are absolutely correct. Dragging the window to make it
larger did indeed allow the picture to appear.

Thanks again!
