A-Patch for Windows Live Messenger 9.0

DOWNLOAD NOW!!!

 

If only you'd posted a few mins earlier I wouldn't have had to search.

Thanks anyways. Good App.

 

Do pay attention to the small print:

"Patching Windows Live/MSN Messenger infringes Microsoft's Terms of Use". ;-)

Dont blame Microsoft for side effects

cheers ...

 

I find Mess Patch to be better.

 

Mess patch is not available for the latest version of WLM that's why I posted this!

 

I've been using it for over a year now. No such side effects noticed.

Wow, thanks guys. These programs are great. Before I just disabled the advertising by editing the windows hosts file to redirect it, but this is much better

 

Can someone tell me what this does

Thanks

 

Apatch lets you remove the advertisements in Messenger. It also has some other things like letting multiple copies run at once, and allowing more file transfers at once.

 

Awesome man
I'm getting this

+rep to the OP for enlightening me

 

And it has something very important! It disables the nudge protection so you could nudge someone who is not responding continously till he gets annoyed and replies

 

Even BETTER

 

Or gets so annoyed you get blocked

 

Mess patch has alot more customizable features than A-patch.

A-patch is much simpler though.

 

LOL
True dat

 

hm... using a third-party client makes me always forget what is *not* possible with an un-patched original one.
maybe allowing multiple accounts (which can be active at the same time) without having to run multiple copies of the app could be a next thing to patch.

 

The third-party clients are cool until I want to do anything outside of chat. Nobody I know using non-Messenger can accept a file or participate in a video call. Everyone I know using Messenger, can. Go figure.

 

Very true. This is the single reason I use WLM. Although, WLM is starting to look pretty nice (once the ads are removed).

 

well, as i don't have a webcam, i do not miss the video feature in trillian (which is not added yet for msn in the version i use, but is for some other networks), anyway voice chat & file transfers are available (and working).

well it depends on what you're used to. i have friends/co-workers on various networks (msn, icq, aim, yahoo, astra, gtalk, myspace, sametime, skype, twitter... err i thing that's all), so that some "universal" solution is a must for me, if i don't want to have 10 apps installed for that all. which would be a pain in the proverbial really.

i agree that "original" clients often offer more advanced features (but sometimes these are rather annoying, such as "teasers" in icq). but as the third-party clients have to compete, they try to offer more (no annoying ads or menus, and are customizable - layout, sounds, alerts etc). "original" vendors are not forced to do this... therefore people who create patches have to instead. ...but i don't wanna flame, rather wanted to explain my previous post.

 

Thanks for the link.

 

Beautiful, now I can finally update to 9.0!
