MSN Messenger

Anyone had any problems with disconnections this evening? Been disconnected a few times and get an 81000301 or 81000314 error when trying to reconnect

Seems fine here, have you tried the patented "NTL Server Shuffle"?

Re: MSN Messenger

My msn messenger seems to have developed annoying adverts at the bottom of my contacts list - hiding some of them. Anyone know how to get rid of them, or even if you can.

It would seem not. I have erased the contents of links.txt and made it read only. The ad's persist, no links are written to the file. Time to delve into the process and see what files it has open I think.

If you do choose to install it, then do not install the sponsor software as it will feck up your machine. You have been warned!! ;)

Re: MSN Messenger

Even Messenger Plus won't hide the adverts at the moment - this'll be fixed in the new release, apparently.

Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but others maybe interested, it's an alternative client for msn messenger with a few added 'tools'

Three good options imo:

Talk to people while they're blocked.

Keep talking to people even after appear offline.

Keep talking to people even after signing out.

Dont know but IF you plan on installing this DO NOT install the Navexcel toolbar. Just removed 20 traces of it. In other words its spyware.

I never installed 3rd party stuff onto messenger, always messes it up somehow.

Are you real ? How on earth do you consider them to be good options. :rolleyes:

FYI - I have cured the adverts by blocking rad.msn.com on my firewall. :)

Do you run ZA? If so how do i configure it to block the ads? as im having the same problem

Paul	04-09-2004 12:36

Re: MSN Messenger

No idea how you do it in ZA, but you could just add ;

127.0.0.1 rad.msn.com

to your hosts file, it will have the same effect.
