Hello Jonathan

The advertisements in the main window for msn messenger
do not show up correctly it always shows up as a page
cannot be displayed or as plain text on white background
with the picture for the advertisement showing up as a
white box with a red cross in it. What causes that and
how can it be fixed.

Thanks Again

Greetings Marcus,

I'm not aware of any widespread issues with the ad servers right now, so I think this is
probably on your side. You might have installed some sort of application that is either
directly blocking these (like a firewall) or even something that's added entries to null out
the ad servers in the Windows hosts file. Regardless, I wouldn't really worry about it.

Hi,
