However, then i go into my recieved files and open it. the mystery is that all files come through except media files like songs and video clips !

With the latest versions of msn microsoft has implemented some security feature that will block files it deems dangerous.
Music, videos and executable files are of course, considered dangerous. :dry:

You can use a patch (such as A-patch, messpatch or univers patcher++) to solve this.

it's stupid though.
Without even asking you to confirm, it deletes your MP3 files that someone just sent you.
So annoying. :dry:

I think the Mess Patch has a solution for this, plus it can remove the ads and stuff too. :) I haven't got around to running it on the latest msn...maybe I will now.
