The (new) location to change is at 0x000206D4 (this is another location then previous versions!)...

There are three TAB-services available (including two with extra games!):

The first one is the one by Jared_ (who is currently developping the ability to add/remove tabs), more can be found here: http://msntabs.ausmade.net/.
To use this service, you have to go to location 0x000206D4 and change
http://config.messenger.msn.com/Config/MsgrConfig.asmx
into
http://msntabs.ausmade.net/MsgrConfig.asmx############
(where # is a 0-byte thus 0x00)

Rolando's patch does exactly that... (this patch will also work for futur versions)
(The tabs you get: MSN Alerts, Neowin, MsgPlus, MSNFanatic, Triople-Extended... )
(NOTE: CURRENTLY THIS SERVICE SEEMS TO BE DOWN)



The second service is the one by Koen, more can be found here: http://games.mess.be/.
To use this service, you have to go to location 0x000206D4 and change
http://config.messenger.msn.com/Config/MsgrConfig.asmx
into
http://appdirectory.brinkster.net/Conf/MsgrConf.asmx?T

Koen's patch does exactly that...
(The tabs you get: MSN Alerts, MSN GSM, MSN Entertainment, Neowin, MsgPlus, MSNFanatic, Triople-Extended... This patch will also enable the extra games!!!)



The third service is the best one IMO. It is made by Daniel, more can be found here: http://www.msnfanatic.com/tabserv/. To use this service you need to register your account and apply a patch to your MSN Messenger. With this service you can create your own tabs AND you can set up the custom games made by Koen.

To use this service, read the official instructions carefully. Or read this post: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=20...d=192366#pid192366
(You can get all the tabs currently known by the Messenger community!!!)



------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT
If you're not  experienced with patching & hex-editing then use:
Rolando's patch for enabling Jared's service...
or use:
Koen's patch for enabling Koen's service (including extra games)...

------------------------------------------------------------

For more info (including questions you may have) about patching, see "TABS in MSN v6.1.0202 (How-To)"...

To patch a file yourself, you must be very experienced and you must know exactly what you're doing...

------------------------------------------------------------

CLOSE messenger completly before applying the patch (this goes also for ANY patch you use)! And remember Koen's patch (v0.8) is ONLY for MSN Messenger 6.1.0207; Rolando's and Daniel's patch should work for all MSN 6.1 builds...

Could you explain this,

To use this service, you have to go to location 0x000206D4 and change
http://config.messenger.msn.com/Config/MsgrConfig.asmx
into
http://msntabs.ausmade.net/MsgrConfig.asmx############
(where # is a 0-byte thus 0x00)

how to do it? i would take the risk

I used the first service, tabs didn't appear, but all the expedia, etc, etc tabs disappear, so I guess, its ok! Maybe I'll learn to do it good some day.

How can i kr8 my own MsgrConfig.asmx ??
There are so many tabs i'd like to add... and I don't want to wait for Jared's new project

You can't unless you have the knowledge...
it's all explained in "TABS in MSN v6.1.0202 (How-To)"...

hi !

I have tryed to make that you have say, but it doesn't work.   look at the pictures, and known as where is the problem. 



Can you say to me, if possible, which hex-editing you used?? 


thanks

TRACKMAN

IT WORKS Whoohoo !!!
look on my last post, on the second picture, remplace 23 23 23 23... by 00 00 00 00......


but can I do a custom tabs for my website ?? if modify the "MsgrConfig.asmx" ???

Good But if you followed the instructions correct the first time (not putting # but 0-bytes in it, also see the screen shot from trackman), there woulnd't be a problem

And about the custom tabs, no you can't create your own unless you have some big knowledge. Read the links and threads first people!!!!!!

go to http://games.mess.be/ and download the newest version. It works with msn plus. No need to do any changing by hand.

I used one of the atches and this is what is got.....

first things first... don't post BMP's... use JPG or GIF... (yes, Paint can also save in these formats )

anyways... you sure you patched the right file (msnmsgr.exe) in the right directory? And you sure the file is not patched before with some skin, other games patch, etc... in other words: you sure it is the right original file???? if it is, it WILL work...

ive got penguin msn

can i use the toolbar thing, THEN penguin skin it?

It seems that your penguin skin was already patched with a TAB-patch, the one from Koen... in other words the extra-games patch (with extra tabs) or http://appdirectory.brinkster.net/Conf/MsgrConf.asmx?T

When is Koen going to release a new version of his custom mess.be games patch?

Why should he release a new one? The patch works for MSN Messenger 6.1.0207 and that is still the latest version.

Problem Solved actually got rid of penguin msn and got Tab Manager
