How do I change my Yahoo! Messenger picture without having a Facebook account?

I am trying to change my Messenger picture. I have followed it to the Profile page, so I clicked the generic icon, and it told me I could use Facebook, or a generic one. How do I achieve this task?

As far as I know, you should see something similar to this image. Then you can click on upload and that should open a window where you can choose any picture from your computer

You can use either a photo or a cartoon avatar. First, save an avatar to your computer you can obtain one from the sites below

Then. Right click on your avatar in the messenger window, click choose a picture or browse for an avatar you have saved, from an avatar site or a photo. Follow the prompts to upload
