Msn Messenger 6 And Constant Ads

[ace2003k]

hi
i downloaded MSN 6 about 3 days ago from www.messenger.msn.co.uk like i have done with all previous version of messenger, but with this new msn 6 i keep getting ad banners up with the title ''MESSENGER SERVICE''-these r real annoying so can anyone assist me on the removal of these ad banners- ive tried adding that patch around the net which claims to remove all ads from msn 6 but this has not worked

thanks in advance

hi
thanks for the reply-but when i go to RUN and type in ''msnconfig''like you said it comes up with an error saying it cannot find that file-check spelling etc

im on XP PRO-does that make a difference or is there another way i can sort this problem

thanks

To Remove MSN Today Pop-up
Tools>Options>General>untick Display MSN Today

To Remove Ad-banners
Mess.be (http://mess.be) and download the ad-removal fix for MSN6.0, just look closely at the MSN6 section.

get MSN+ (http://www.msgplus.net/) or use the search option 2 search 4 MSN6 on this forum, it has lots of cracks listed.......

It actually is very simple

on the MSN menu click TOOLS---> then OPTIONS ---> then click on GENERAL tab and uncheck the Display MSN today when Messenger signs in.

Make sure it is blank and not checked and then click OK ... that should stop that annoying banner from coming up. Hope this helps!!!
