Money tab doesn't show right contents
I love to watch the stockprices on MSN Messenger anywhere I want via the Money Tab. On this computer, however, I can't see my personal stock list. When I click the tab, another page (http://money.msn.nl/) is shown within MSN Messenger. The right page to be shown actually is http://nl.money.msn.com/messenger/tab.aspx.
I tried to reinstall MSN Messenger 6.2, even after manually deletion of my settings in registry and "Documents and Settings" before installing MSN Messenger again, the problem persists. In previous versions of MSN Messenger (<6.0) I know, one can edit ConfigCache.XML, containing a record providing the url MSN Messenger visits when clicking on a specific tab. Furthermore the problem must lie within the MSN Messenger installation, because any account lacks the ability to access the Money tab in the proper way, besides that the problem only resides at this workstation. Is there someone who has (had!) the same problem and/or is there someone who has a solution to this problem directly? Or indirectly by knowing a way to add more configurability to MSN Messenger 6.2 (On a level comparible with the one described above for MSN Messenger <6.0)? P.S. I will not take "Reinstall your computer" for an answer, as the Stocks-on-MSN-feature doesn't mean THAT much for me...

Do you get all the same tabs from different PCs? (just the images down the side, I mean). Unless you are using a tab patch like tabserve, then the tabs should be all the same as it goes by the location in your passport profile. Choosing the repair option in the add/remove programs window should remove any patch. I can't really think why it would be doing that, but you could try using the patch (http://www.msnfanatic.com/tabserv/) and just manually creating the tab to use the right URL.
[Edit:] Corrected forum code. Don't forget to add the quotes around the hyperlink

I have two PC's at home, which lack the ability to show the MSN Money page correctly. Thank you for providing actually a very good work around. I can even say it's better than a solution, by the fact that it adds more configurabillity to the MSN Tabs, i.e. Unwanted Tabs are removed, and arbitrarily ones can be created!
For everyone having the same problem as described in the first message, I'll provide the needs to work around. Tabserve requests url's to the desired pictures to display in the Tab and the url to be loaded after clicking on it: URL to be loaded: http://nl.money.msn.com/messenger/tab.aspx URL to PNG: http://birdy.byte-link.com/MSNTab/MSNMoney.png URL to GIF: http://birdy.byte-link.com/MSNTab/MSNMoney.gif Furthermore, I recommend to download these pictures yourself and putting them online on your own control. |
