    • Click the "Messenger" menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select "My Display Image."
  2. Select the "Share my picture" option and click the "Select a Picture" graphic.
  3. Select a picture or use one of your own by clicking the "Browse" button. With this button you can browse your hard drive for a picture. The picture must be one of the following graphic types: .bmp, .jpeg, .png, or .gif.

Note: You can change your picture by clicking the "Change" button to the right of your picture.

Where's the Contact Customer Care button? With so many improvements to Messenger since the version you're using (lots more features and reliability), we figured you're ready to move up. So get your upgrade and with the new version, rest assured if you have questions, you’ll find that friendly button on its help pages.
