Log encryption won't work by enterthemattrix on 05-06-2004 at 12:38 PM

Hey everybody,
Recently, the password for my encrypted chat logs suddenly stopped working. Even If I enter the correct password, it tells me that it is incorrect. I have tried disabling encryption, then re-enabling it (first, with the same password, then a second time with a different password). That seemed to work for a while (I talked to someone, closed the window, and was able to open the encrypted log), but when I restarted my computer the password didn't work (on the very log file that had worked before). I have tried simply changing the password, and messenger plus asks me if I want to re-encrypt the logs. I click on yes, and it successfully re-encrypts them. However, the same thing happens the next time I restart my computer. This is getting really annoying, since it means I either have to leave my logs unencrypted (which I'd rather not do) or do away with the logs all together (which I'd also rather not do). I'm using Messenger Plus 2.54.75 and MSN messenger 6.1.0211 on Windows XP Pro.

I'd really appreciate it if someone can help!

Sound like the encryption engine got corrupted...only way to restore it is to uninstall and reinstall plus..as for the already encrypted log files...i think they are lost cuz there is no way they can be unencrypted :(

Sorry for the abrupt editing and my poor english. I have this problem with my log files as with enterthematrix. But the problem now is that even after uninstalling and reinstalling a newer version, my log files still cannot be decrypted with the password.

Thanks, I'll try reinstalling it after school today. :)

EDIT:
Well, I've re-installed it and it seems to have worked, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see if the problem happens again.

It won't happen again unless the encryptionengine gets corrupted. Well u know the solution to that now ;)
