AntiSilence, do you have ZoneAlarm with IM Security? If so, some versions cause an issue with file transfer, along with video conversations, and the avatars.

I have ZoneAlarm Security Suite 6.5 and this has the problem. There are workarounds. Zonelabs say downgrading to 6.1 will fix it (great, eh?) but there's also a workaround available via a link on their user forums, which involves hacking IM Security.

I've not bothered with either fix as I only tend to use Messenger for text chat, so I can't comment on what issues there may be.
