Updated :)

-Added Polygamy (Allow user to use multiple MSN Messenger in one OS)

-Removed Tabs, Search Bar and MSN Today button.

Thanks a lot works great.

Since I don't use an hotmail.com/msn.com account for my MSN I would like to remove the "E-mail" button. Is there a way to do that? Anyone got a patch for that?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

Is there any way you can make it so you can choose what patches you want applied because i like it so i can have all the patches in one but i dont really want the actions pane thing to be gone so maybe a check box or something so you can choose what things to patch

Yeah, that would be great

Hey guys,

I installed MSN Messenger 7.0 beta, applied one of the patches that's been given out in this thread, and tried running MSN, but it won't connect:

We were unable to sign you in to .NET Messenger Service, possibly because of a problem with the service or with your Internet connection. Please make sure that you are connected to the Internet. 81000301

Click the Help button to check the current server status.

And it obviously gives me the options of 'Retry', 'Cancel' or 'Help'.

I tried Help, to see whether the Messenger service is down or anything, but it's not.

I've tried restarting my PC a few times incase that's what it required - no go.

I've disabled firewalls, assigned rules for MSN 7 etc etc etc, and still nothing.

When I had MSN 6.2 running, it worked fine, but since I've had 7.0 it's only successfully signed in once.

Is anyone else experiencing similar difficulties, and, does anyone know a possible remidy to the problem? Any help/suggestions is appreciated. :D

Might have something to do with your firewall...

,Oct 3 2004, 15:43] what would be nice for when plus gets updated is a plugin that notify's you of your gmail emails like normal hotmail alerts n stuff... . .. anyone? lol

I agree :D

and it should take me straight to the gmail inbox even if i dont use a gmail passport for msn :D

Of course for that there would have to be a way to put in the user n pass details of the gmail acc.

This is gonna be tough i think :p

Check Mess.be if you want to know how MSN 7 looks like!!!!!

lol... are you mod there or something?

Anyways, I have been trying to add custom winks and I managed to extract the default wink content.

1) Open ResourceHacker

2) Open msgslang.dll

3) Go to section WINK and click on a random number.

4) You'll see weird text, hex, so far so good

5) Click Action - Save resource as binary file

6) Enter name wink.cab and save it to desktop

7) Check out the content. It uses Flash with XML and png for preview

Here the XML Content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><package xmlns="http://messenger.msn.com/messengercontent/1.0" version="1.0" type="wink" xmlns:wink="http://messenger.msn.com/winks/1.0" wink:version="1.0" contenttype="D"><item type="animation" mimetype="application/x-shockwave-flash" file="balloon.swf" /><item type="thumbnail" mimetype="image/png" file="WaterBalloon.png" /></package>

Someone take it over from here :)

    • You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
