Best Buy it looks like... Have you done any internet shopping or anything?.... Do you have a dynamic background? (pretty sure you do).... Or have you skinned messenger lately?


RE: Ads in convo??? What the hell??? by prashker on 09-07-2005 at 03:08 AM

It surely looks like it, check whether there's a msnmsgr_no_adcontrol.bak file in your msn directory. If so, rename it to msnmsgr.exe (replacing the other one).
RE: Ads in convo??? What the hell??? by prashker on 09-07-2005 at 07:00 PM

nope nothing there.

I downloaded the ad control just a sec ago cuz u said so and even if i tried to install it it says Cannot patch the selected file


RE: Ads in convo??? What the hell??? by Yousef on 09-07-2005 at 07:04 PM

This is really weird, are you sure you downloaded messenger from http://messenger.msn.com? Reinstalling will probably solve your problem anyway :)


RE: Ads in convo??? What the hell??? by prashker on 09-07-2005 at 07:09 PM

I reinstalled 2wice and it woked the second time. Weird.
Anyways thanks for the help.


RE: Ads in convo??? What the hell??? by Yousef on 09-07-2005 at 07:11 PM

Alright, great to here it's working.
But are you sure nobody ever sent you another msnmsgr.exe, and you always downloaded it from the official site?


RE: Ads in convo??? What the hell??? by prashker on 09-07-2005 at 07:12 PM

Yes i always double check everythign and i never accept MSN versions thru other sites.

StuffPlug-NG?


RE: Ads in convo??? What the hell??? by Yousef on 09-07-2005 at 08:52 PM

I'm almost sure this has something to do with adcontrol. It patches exactly the same stuff. But I don't think microsoft has released a pre-adcontrol-patched version of msn messenger :rofl:

You still got the old.exe? I'd like to check it..


RE: Ads in convo??? What the hell??? by prashker on 09-07-2005 at 09:17 PM

ok i reinstalled AdController and it showed the ads again. I guess i might have without knowing. Anyways pm me on how to send you the files.
