5. Click on "Animated GIF (*.gif)"
6. Rename the file as whatever you want choose the directory (Desktop)
7. Click on "Save" and a new window will open
8. Adjust your preffered dimensions and whatsoever in the window
** 149 x 109 is a suitable dimension for an MSN diplay picture
9. I saved the file in my desktop so I locate it in my desktop
10. Open your Windows Live Messenger
11. Drag the GIF file in the desktop and place it in your MSN display picture
** Do make your animation to complex and long;
** If it's too long, the size'll be too big for MSN display picture size limit
