Hi
With reference to the patch for playing online games; the games are set for users with a US .net passport but for other users across the world, you can simply edit the file configcache.xml:
X:\Documents and Settings\<Your username>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\<your email>\configcache.xml
(BTW - with reference to <your email> above, I don't know about in the US but in UK this is shown as a long list of numbers, just open it and you'll see the configcache.xml)
Open the configcache.xml with notepad and look for this line:
http://appdirectory.messenger.msn-in...y.aspx?L=en-??
(?? denotes your two letter country country code)
Simply change the "??" to, for example "uk" and save the changes, then launch messenger again and choose a buddy and click on the launch site.
One other thing to note; at the top of the configcache.xml, you'll notice an expiry date, just change to something greater than "2" and save it.
Hope this helps
