Problem: Unable to start convo with... by Stealth_X on 05-11-2004 at 08:53 PM

...anyone from my contact list.

Hey all, I have a problem since a short while. Whenever I wish to start a conversation (double-click on contact's name or right mouse button 'Start convo') I get some kind of an error message. :S
I never saw it before on MSN Messenger. It shows me the followong message:

code:
We were unable to start a conversation with <contact's name>. You may want to try again.
I've been having this problem for about a week now. I tried uninstalling the messenger and install it again after reboor, but still the same message appears. At first I thought it was my firewall, but after uninstalling that, logging in, it still gave me the error. I attached a screenshot of the message.
I really hope someone could help, I would really appreciate it!


Thank you all in advance!

Chances are you've installed the Handwriting Plugin... read this:

I indeed installed it, but that was back with MSN Messenger 6.1 and it worked perfectly. It worked with version 6.2 a while too. I heard there were some problems with the Handwriting Plug In, but it worked fine, so I didn't think that was the problem...

But thanks a lot!!!

[edit]Read it - Uninstalled The PlugIn - and messenger works again! Thanks![/edit]
