Well... Okay... Ran into another problem... I downloaded the futuristic skin like I said... Then I did all the restore backups and all that... And now I re-put the A patch on here... and now the skin is gone... Should I reinstall the skin again... Or what?


EDIT: A-Patch says to use it on a clean/unmodified version of messenger... So wouldn't the skin make it modified, therefore the apatch wouldn't work? Just a thought... but! I'd think you guys would know more than me.

uninstall any skin before you install a patch. you can install your skin after you've installed a patch

Which, depending on how the installer works, would remove the effects of the patch.

Skin first, patch second.

I've tried both ways and it just doesn't seem to be working.... I'll be fine with just the skin though... I'm sure there'll be other ways to get what I want out of the patch.

well, the way rolando's (well they are TB's) installers work is that it needs to have a clean version of msn messenger since it patches the hex values when installing the skin. There are other installers (like the ones that are compiled by Jaymach) out there that patch the exe without patching hex values and for these, you dont need to start with a clean version of msn messenger.

I'm using Penguin MSN and mess patch. I insatlled the skin first then tried mess patch, but after trial and error, i realised that only some of the mess patch features would work due to what the skin had changed. It took me a while, but i got it working in the end and i recorded the options i checked so i can do it again.
