Patchou.. about the handwritingplugin by KnightieBoy on 03-03-2004 at 06:53 PM
I have a question.. Patchou, could you change your post about the MSNHandwritingPlugin on www.msgplus.net and Fraisie, on plugins.msgplus.net , and include this? 
'Note: Windows XP only' I'm asking this cause on #msgplus on irc we're getting a lot of people who installed it, but can't talk because they don't have windows XP.
This would save the #MsgPlus staff on irc a lot of problems. I know there's already a warning about just delete all the files in the plugins-dir, but most users that come to us, have .dll's hidden because they use windows 95/98. It would save us a lot of time. So a warning with something like 'Note: Windows Xp Only' in the post on www.msgplus.net + the 'file-explanation' on plugins.msgplus.net would be appreciated. Thanks a lot 
blah this is supposed to be in Forum&Website, I see now , oh well, I'm sure a helpful admin or mod could move?

Yeh that would be good as i sent it to a m8 she got in a faf and i had to remote control her pc to fix it lol . It would be usefull for people who tend not to read readme files (Me and A lot of others) hehehehe

well neither do I, sometimes I do, but it would really help if Patchou changed it, especially if I have to explain how to get their hidden files shown from dutch ( Menu Extra is called Tools 
) and most people don't even know that it's because of their windows 
they say: 'I've uninstalled Plus! and MSN works, I install Plus! and I can't speak " I even made a script, which I lost

I have windows 2000 and it works perfectly fine for me so I don't know why you say it only works for XP

Really? Thats weird.....maybe it works for XP and 2000? Or maybe there was some fix in a service pack or something?

win xp and 2k r very similer with how they work.. u'll find that many drivers that work for xp work for 2k as well.. there both based off NT (well xp pro is, home is based off 98)

tbh, on mess.be it was noted that it was for XP only. I'm not gonna debat about 'well it's for XP only' 'no it's also for 2k' it's just to reduce the number of people who come to #MsgPlus asking questions about 'I can't talk, what now?'

I'll back this up for 500%....
It should clearly state that it is ONLY for XP, 2000 and server 2003....
I few days ago I've made this post about it:
