Missing Tabs in Messenger 8.5

Hello, I have Windows Live Messenger 8.5 installed at work and at home. The
one major diffenerence is that I only see my "contacts" tab at work. I see
all the other tabs on my messenger at home. Can someone explain why this
is? I have not removed or hid the other tabs. They just don't appear in
available list.

Re: Missing Tabs in Messenger 8.5

Greetings Robert,

When Messenger connects, it contacts a web service which "configures" the various features in
Messenger to your account, including the tabs.

More than likely what's happening is at work there is some sort of block which is preventing
Messenger from reaching the web service, so the tabs don't appear.
