Don't worry, I can't see games either...

My MSN did what yours is doing (no tabs etc.)

Also you know when you click on the smileys button and there's usually the "Whats hot" section, that didn't load as well.

But like later on when I signed in and out, stuff re-appeared. I never patched MSN except for having Plus! installed.

I think it's to do with when MSN can't get the extra "Promotional/External" stuff, although it can connect to the messenger service for sending messages.
