[solved]boss protection deactivated with latest XP update by effisk on 05-05-2004 at 01:03 PM

Hi,

great software, I really enjoy Msgr+.

just one thing

I'm using the latest MSG+ version (2.54.75) and I downloaded a Microsoft update for XP related to the Sasser virus available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...8f3&displaylang=en

Now, my problem is that since I downloaded this update, the boss protection (Ctrl+Space shortcut) does not work anymore, nothing happens, even if the boss protection is enabled. Same thing for the Ctrl+L lock Messenger option (a messagebox appears: "Sorry you must sign in at least once before you can use this feature") and yes I did signout/signin.

cheers.

And it still doesn't work even if you:
1) installed the patch
2) rebooted
3) restart msn messenger
4) sign in
5) reassign shortcuts for boss protection and messenger lock
?

(PS: I also have the update (a while ago now), WinXP Home (incl. all the updates), and I tried it with Plus! 2.54.75... no problems here, it's working fine... :/)

If the above didn't work you could always try to reinstall Plus! :-/. It works with me ... Did you checked "Confirm" when you first tried to use the boss protection feature?
