what's wrong with my contact list? by thy on 04-12-2005 at 01:38 PM
what's wrong with my contact list??
I'm sure it's was caused by "Messenger Plus!"
cause if I uninstall the messenger plus, everything goes fine.
what's wrong with it?
everything is fine a week ago.
Is there anyway to fix it?cause I really like messenger plus.

I figured out how to fix it~
I have to disable the "Display formatting attributes in the contact list"
it's in "Plus!"-->"Preference"--> "contact list"-->"General Options"
uncheck the option
thank you all for helping me

similiar problem happened to me...
but my one is a little bit minor
after i minimized my contact list and re-opened it again
the chinese on my list becomes squashy and blurry
and if i click on my contacts it would change back to normal again
also if there's any change on the list (eg. status change, ppl loggin in, i maximize another contact group) it would change back to normal
and yeah it could be solved by the way suggested by thy
but im in love with my colored nick
so...sigh...guess ill have to live with it till a update comes out...
btw its the same both in t.chinese version and english version
my os: windows xp pro sp2
msn7: build 0777

You may want to check you haven't set up Plus's language wrong.

Have you tried switching your MSN Messenger to the Chinese one?
Btw, I've actually got the same problem (and same thing happens to charlie_su1986 too)...and I can confirm it has nothing to do with Messenger Plus!. That is, when Plus! is killed/uninstalled, the Chinese characters still screw up in Contact List. For now, I can live with it :p

hmm really?? well...my msn got back to normal after i uninstalled my msgplus...
and as ive said before, no matter if its the english version of msn messenger or the t.chinese version, its all the same with either the english or the t.chinese version of msgplus.
and yeah ive discovered another thing...it is t.chinese and only t.chinese....doesnt effect any other languages (well...at least not english, japenese and s.chinese on my list)
ta~thanks for the reply
ps. checked again and thy's method (unticking the "disply formatting attributes in the contact list") really solves my problem.
RE: what's wrong with my contact list? by Mnjul on 04-14-2005 at 04:02 PM
Hmmm..got it
It appears that when Plus! paints the contact list, it uses a smaller fontsize for Traditional Chinese..

I'm running Windows XP SP2
MSN 7.0.0777
and using the new msgPlus 3.52.130 now
but the problem is still
I still can't use the "Display formatting attributes in the contact list" function.
If I enable it, everything looks fine when I open my contact list from the systemtray , but after I resize the windows horizontal or some one oline/offline.... will mess my contact list.
I attach an zip file contain an "avi" shows how it happens.

Based on some reason, I reinstall my system.(WindowsXP Pro SP2)
the weird contact list problem solved itself
I can now have MsgPlus work with "Display formatting attributes in the contact list" enabled.
really don't know why this happen...
cause I reinstall MSN messenger and MsgPlus several times yesterday and it didn't help .
RE: what's wrong with my contact list? by Patchou on 04-16-2005 at 05:53 PM
Thsi problem is often caused by Regional Settings options... for those of you who still have the problem, go in your Regional and Language Options, Languages tab (second one), make sure "Install files for East Asian languages" is checked. Then click on Details, go in the Advanced tab (second one) and make sure no option is checked there).
If you changed anything in your options, restart your computer. If it fixed your problem, please report back on the forum .
