msn file receiving (1 Viewer)

[deano059]

in msn 7 is there a reason why when sum1 tries to send me a file it would not come up on my screen?

 

[MedNez]

What file type is it? It may be a blocked extension.

 

[jlh]

i think theres some bug in file sending...

you gotta actually talk to the person before you send the file. don't open a fresh chat window and just send something....

 

[MedNez]

Yeah. That too. That's because there's no session between the people... so the file won't go anywhere. Leaving the window open for a few seconds or starting to type a message will initiate a session and you can send a file.

 

[Rafy]

Yes, msn has to open the switchboard session with the server before you can send the file.
So yes try that.

May also be file extentions.

A number of file extentions were blocked in msn 7.0.777

These include:

ade, adp, app, asp, bas, bat, cer, chm, cmd, com, cpl, crt, csh, exe, fxp, hlp, hta, inf, ins, isp, its, js, jpeg, jse, ksh, lnk, mad, maf, mag, mam, maq, mar, mas, mat, mau, mav, maw, mda, mdb, mde, mdt, mdw, mdz, msc, msi, msp, mst, mp3, ops, pcd, pif, prf, prg, pst, reg, scf, scr, sct, shb, shs, tmp, url, vb, vbe, vbs, vsd, vsmacros, vss, vst, vsw, ws, wsc, wsf, wsh.

Have no idea why they blocked jpegs and mp3s.

However, MS is deveping a patch which should solve sign in issues and allow sending of mp3s and jpegs.

It is currently being beta tested atm. Its build 7.0.813. btw it has being leaked so google search it and you may find it.

There used to be a JPEG problem where code could be placed in the file because of an exploit. But then Windows released a patch for it, so it's fixed now if you updated.

 

[santaslayer]

hmmm...mp3?

to stop illegal song sharing?

 

[Pharaohsam]

would anyone care too provide a link to the leaker version?

 

[RCMasterAA]

As always, you should make http://www.mess.be/ one of your bookmarks.
The leaked version is available there.

I need to read the IT Stuff Rules

 

[AntiHyper]

I can still send mp3 over msn. With MSN Plus's winamp extension, I can send the song that is currently playing

 

[santaslayer]

I need to read the IT Stuff Rules

ahahahaha...

anyway, I installed the patch but now it overrides the A-patch I initially installed to get rid of advertisments. That is, A-Patch does not seem to work anymore. (I can see the ads again). I go to add/remove programs and find the patch titled as "MSN Update" but it won't allow me to delete the file. What should I do? Reinstall 7.0 MSN again?

lmao looks like youll all have to wait to the official release....
(and no dont pm or anything for my copy, im an official msn beta tester, and as such signed an agreement not to distibute MY copy )


Anyway, santaslayer, get the new A-patch from A-patch.tk (its now compatible with 813) and just install it.

It should work fine

If you want to go back to 777 just open your original 777 install file.

stupid microsoft baby-ing people, though i did send someone a file i renamed to
virus.exe and they opened it

anyway you can bypass all this crap by putting your viruses *cough* files, into .zip files, or of course binding your viruses/trojans to files that are accepted
