happening

im using Windows XP Professional SP1 please can anyone help me with this

Are you using plugins of plus? If you do, disable them in the plugins section of the preferences of plus and restart messenger.

Are you using a modified version of messenger (ie: with games or polygamy patch, with skins, ....)? If you do, install the original version and try again.

Are you using programs like SmileyCentral or MyCustomNix or similar programs related to messeger? They're known to cause problems to plus. Uninstall them and try again.

Does the problem still happen if you unisntall plus?

Does the problem also happen if you use one of the original themes of windows xp?

No, im not using any plug-in

Are you using a modified version of messenger (ie: with games or polygamy patch, with skins, ....)? If you do, install the original version and try again.

No, im using the original messenger

No, im not using any of those programs realted to messenger

Does the problem still happen if you unisntall plus?

No agian, when i uninstall the plus all is back to normal


Does the problem also happen if you use one of the original themes of windows xp?

Yes, i tried with an original theme from XP i used the default blue but still having the same problem

what message? all? a command of plus (a sound, a /ping, etc...)? or what?

all the messages any word any letter any emoticon i just cant talk with anyone

thnxs for all the advices man

Are you using ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm pro, ZoneLabs SecuritySuite or ZoneLabs IMSecure?

no exoendo im not using any of those programs

Hmm...
What is your current AntiVirus Product and firewall product (if applicable), and Spam Protection, and are you using Microsoft Office?  If so, what version?

(Sorry if this sounds far fetched, i've noticed similar problems with these products installed!  Just wanna eliminate everything)

ok man np about the questions

well im using norton antivirus corporate edition v8.0
i dont use a firewall
mmm...
not using spam protection active (running in background) but sometimes i scan my pc with adaware 6.0

im using microsoft office XP professional with frontpage

Hmm...non of these products should be doing anything, I guess i'd just wait and see if Patchou reads this thread, cause he'll know better than me.

Have you tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling Plus?
Uninstall Plus and remove all your preferences when asked to (you can back them up and try restoring them later). Remove Plus directory (usually C:\Program files\Messenger Plus! 3). Now go to Start > Run, type "regedit" and click OK.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Patchou and press Del to delete it. Now browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou and do the same. Reinstall Plus and check what happens.

yes i did, i uninstall the program but i couldnt find the keys so i reinstall it but still the same problem

Are you using Windows Messenger, or MSN Messenger? And what version (exact complete version number x.xxxx)?

im using msn Messenger 6.2.0137

Not that it helps, but i have exactly the same problem. In all respects. I thought it might have had something to do with the old handwriting plugin but the problem remains without the plugin. I have the same problem with plus in both windows and msn messengers.

Anyone else got this problem? Also, did you try uninstalling completely ( this includes deleting all your preferences) to see if it fixed the problem?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled plus completely (including prefrences). I have also tryed deleting the folder and any remains i could find after the install. I have also tryed to install an older version 220 (with windows messenger) and the error doesn't occur. The error occurs with plus3 whenever i press the "send" after typing a message. coincidentaly i can continue to use msn if i ignore the message to do anything but send a message. as soon as i ackowlage the message then msn quits completely. All plus featuers like transparency and banner removal work. I havent tried turing off the loggin feature. I hope this helps. Thanks

Kram & AnToNiO:

• Uninstall Plus! (completely, remove settings too).
  
• Reboot, login at MSN, is the problem still there? (let us know)
  
• Now uninstall MSN Messenger and reboot.
  
• Download the latest MSN Messenger from http://messenger.msn.com/ and install it.
  
• Login at MSN, is the problem still there? (let us again)
  
• Download the latest Messenger Plus! from http://www.msgplus.net and install it.
  
• Login at MSN, is the problem still there? (again, let us know)

• Which Windows version do you use?
  
• If you are on Windows XP, did you installed Service Pack 2 (SP2)?
  
• Do you have Microsoft .NET v1.1 installed? If you don't or you are not sure, go to http://www.windowsupdate.com and scan for updates. If you can't find Microsoft .NET anywhere the you already have it. If you do see it then select it and install it, then reboot and see if it fixes the problem.
  
• Do you have any probram installed for costum windows themes, or any other program that is running on your PC that might be causing it?

There I gave that famous command in executing to remove the 4,6, but now MSN 6,2 only enters for the C: \Archives of programs \MSN Messenger \msnmsgr.exe and does not enter the MSN Plus no way.

• Can you run Windows Messenger? If so tell use what version you have.
  
• Did you ever use gpedit.msc to disable Windows Messenger?
  
• Did you ever tried something or removed files to disable Windows Messenger?
  
• If you go to http://www.windowsupdate.com , is Windows Messenger in the list(s) of updates? If so download, install, reboot and see if it helps you.

Thanks MenthiX for the help.
I have since reinstalled windows and no longer have the problem. While I was trying to get plus to work, I still had the error after rebooting between the install and uninstalls. I didn’t have any windows theme customizers installed. I was to the best of my knowledge using the latest windows messenger and the latest msn messenger. I tried re-installing msn messenger to fix the problem but that also didn’t work. One thing I never remembered to try was disabling plus features. I wasn’t using any plug in while I had the problem. I was using xp with sp1. The problem didn’t occur when I first installed plus. I have been using plus for a long time and the problem occurred spontaneously one day, trying to talk after sign in.
Hope this helps

I have i similar problem except i dont get the error, i cant reboot atm. ill try fixing it later, i can live without it
I haven't changed anything either, it just... happened :/
