Problem for SW developers with last version "3.62.146" by POL on 01-10-2006 at 02:19 PM
Hello
This is a question for Messenger plus software developer.
I'm a software developer too, and I would like to describe a problem with the last version That I upgraded yesterday (09 Jan 2006).
The program seems to work fine. This is Not an operational bug.
But there is a problem Using a developer Evironment like I do. (Visual Studio .NET 2003).
Probably you know that when you launch a program with the debugger, the debugger loads the informations about the running programs.
When the
'C:\Programmi\MessengerPlus! 3\MsgPlusLoader.dll',
is loaded, it takes a lot of seconds to load it (7, o 8 seconds).
It is really strange, because I've ever used messenger plus, and it has neved caused this problem....
If I kill process msgplus.exe process, everything works fine.
Can you verify if there is something wrong into this DLL?
The Plus version is 3.62.146 (Italian)
the Msn Messenger version is 7.5.0311
Best regards
POL

Like raceprouk said, this problem will only happen with the alternate hooking method from Plus!. So to solve it, force Plus! to use the default hooking method. You can do that in the Messenger Plus! settings (Plus! > Preferences > General Options > Miscellaneous > and the set "Messenger Attach Method" to "Default Mode - Forced".

I've tried what you suggest, but it still doesn't work!
I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, but I hope that I won't need to unistall messenger Plus.
I hope that there is an other workaround.
bye bye

When you changed from 'Alternate' to 'Default', did you reboot?

Yes, I did!

Then something must have blocked the Registry change. Are you running any Registry monitoring programs?

I've checked the messenger plus Setting, to be sure that the changes has been applied. They are OK.
If you know a registry key that I can manually set, please, tell me.
Thank you very much

'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows' is the key I believe. Just remove MsgPlusLoader.dll from the list in the AppInit_DLLs value, and reboot 
Edit: Checked, and that is the right key

I had the identical problem. I did all the required steps outlined above:
1. Changed the Attach Method from "Default" to "Default - Forced"
2. Rebooted
3. Confirmed that the setting was still "Default -Forced"
4. Confirmed that the registry key mentioned does not have MsgPlusLoader.dll in the AppInit_DLLs value.
Problem was NOT resolved.
The Plus version was 3.62.146 (English)
the Msn Messenger version is 7.5.0324
SO, I updated to Plus version 3.63.148. The VS debugger still loads the Plus dll, however it no longer takes 10 seconds as before. (Now it's instantaneous.) So I'm happy.
