Is it just me or do the extra features of info pen not work with plus running?


I shut down plus and all the extra buttons appear for the handwriting, but when plus is running, handwriting works but it works with the normal old handwriting stuff.

anone know a workaround?

maybe ur running another program that makes plus do that?

I installed it the other day also... it is working very fine with Plus!....
I didn't experience any kind of problem........

I closed down msn messenger completely, killed the plus process, and uninstalled the ink redistributables. After that I installed InfoPen Pro...... (so I left the handwriting plugin installed; on startup it wouldn't work of course because the ink redists weren't installed anymore,  but that doesn't matter. The point is, InfoPen Pro worked fine (together with Plus!) without any glitch....)


Helpfile for InfoPen Pro:
(this is found within the installation package, but if you want to know what it can do first, before installing, here it is)

EDIT: There is a known conflict between InfoPen Pro and the StuffPlug-NG plugin.

Does both contects need to have this installed to be able to see the drawings?

No, the drawings are just ink-messages like normal (which means your contact only has to have Messenger 6.x)....

unless (!) you include a background picture (the piece of the msn buttonbar in the screenshot). If that is the case then you are presented with three options:
1) or you send the drawing without the picture, or...
2) you send the drawing as a new whole picture (thus like you would normaly send a picture) or...
3) you send the InfoPenViewer to your contact....

Note that with InfoPen you need the executable running (just like Plus! works) before running MSN Messenger. The same goes for the InfoPenViewer....
This was also thru before, when using the first InfoPen version!...

I had Info Pen (i got it from mess.be) but it didnt have these options...
Are they new?

Are you talkin to me Cooki?

when i said i cant't send a drawin' i ment i can't send any!

not even normal..and i have selected the option 1.

(yep was talking to you)
If that is the case, then I apologize, but do state things a bit more clearly then

anyways, how did you install it?
1) closed down msn messenger completely
2) kill the plus process
3) uninstall the ink redistributables
4) install InfoPen Pro
5) reboot
6) start messenger
if you did all that, then it should work...

Btw, you said you selected option 1, but if you didn't include a picture then the options-dialog will not popup in the first place.

And if you meant that you've selected option 1 in the main-options screen (send InfoPenViewer) and also ticked "always use this method" then there shouldn't be any message send but the viewer should be sending...

too bad it's only a 30-day trial though...
i didn't see the extra buttons either, but when i uninstalled it, messenger wouldn't run , there was some error message (forgot what it was), but when i re-installed infopen pro messenger worked fine.

EDIT: i see the extra buttons now after restarting messenger.
EDIT2: who was the creator of the handwriting plugin? cos it was exactly like the original infopen but was completely free and was a plus! plugin, would it be possible for the creator make a free plus! plugin of infopen pro?

Stuff plug ng and info pen has a conflict whenever open hotmail in default is chosen with  info pen installed
....

whenever you open somebody's chat window it keeps on opening multiple instances of firefox

big problem

Just a quick question about the handwriting plugin.

What does the convert tab do?

I have uninstalled Infopen Pro and everything works fine now!

This is going off topic people! Please keep it ON topic, this thread is about InfoPen Pro and how it is/isn't compatible with Plus!

The answers to the last two posts could easly be found if you searched the forums

Cooki, i think i have found the source of my problem. I believe it another  conflict with SPNG and Infopen Pro.

Sorry for the offf-topic post, but i had to answer this.

If you find that the info pen conflict with plus,you should check the three things:
1.make sure that your plus is a 3.0 or later version.
2.make sure that your info pen is the latest version,that is info pen pro.
3.if you are a win98 user, update you older infopen.

BTW,I find that the info pen pro can work well with plus 3.0 or later version.

I ahve the latest version of plus and msn messenger, I uninstalled ink and shut down plus and msn messenger, checked task manager to be sure... i delete all msgplus plugins (turns out i did have handwriting plugin, jsut wasnt running becaus enot compatible with latest msn version) but all plugins are gone..

I installed infopen pro, rebooted...

Opened up MSN messenger, signed in, clicked the handwriting tab, and right away in the convorsation window without me hitting send or anything it shows "BradlEy writes:" then nothing below it. I can handwrite but i do not have any of the extra featurs. Infopen IS up next to plus on the menus. The cursor is the cursor that should be there with infopen (as opposed tot he classic crosshair handwriting cursor). No extra options, this is with plus running.

I close MSN, i terminate plus, I open msn, and all the infopen pro features are there, for some reason, when i run infopen alongside with plus, it does not work correctly

this attachment is what i see as soon as i click handwrite before even sending a message (it looks like i send one tho every time...) i show my plugins folder and running tasks and msn menu bar to show that infopen is running alongside plus.

this attachment is what i see once i clsoe down msn, terminate plus, and open msn again (againt task manager and plugin folder displayed, and menubar to show only info pen is running no plus)
