Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-25-2006 at 07:02 AM

Okay... i was on the chat channel for help and i saw quite a few people with the same problem as myself

please only post in this topic if you have a problem similar to my problem

You cant use the sounds function*
You cant access any of the tools on the in-chat toolbar for Plus! Live*
Your auto-messages for personal statuses do not get sent when someone talks to you
Your Quick Texts do not work
You cant change your Display name colour

*instead of it opening you hear a sound like the one when you try to backspace when there is nothing there to delete

and no matter what you do or how many times you uninstall and re-install NONE of these and maybe more work

well i have opened a topic for people with this problem ONLY

do not be fooled i dont have ANY ideas i just started this too see if we had anything in commen about our computers that could be causing the problem and to help patchou see the extent of how many people are having this problem

i am also using SP2

PLEASE POST IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM SO WE GET THE FULL EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM

i have tried the 235 build and unfortunatly it has not fixed my problem.. i dont know if it has fixed your problem and if it did then :-) but it has not worked for me :-(


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Felu on 06-25-2006 at 07:07 AM

Having the same problems and almost no feature works, but its only with Media Center Edision SP2 of Windows XP.


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Chestah on 06-25-2006 at 07:08 AM

Are you using Windows XP with SP1 or SP2 ? There is a known bug with users running Windows XP with no service packs.


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Sandman on 06-25-2006 at 07:14 AM

Yep, same prob here.. im running latest WLM, latest Messenger Plus! and Windows XP Pro SP1


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by InEEd on 06-25-2006 at 07:17 AM

i'm running all latest stuff also SP2  and it's not working properly.


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Techboy__ on 06-25-2006 at 07:17 AM

Why isnt there a no option, lol


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-25-2006 at 07:18 AM

there aint a no option because if you aint having the problem you dont post...

the poll is so that patchou can get an idea of how many people are having the problem not how many arent having the problem...

Windows XP SP2 + WLM (8.0.0787.00)

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by rpsgc on 06-25-2006 at 01:56 PM

I used the leaked Beta version for a couple of months and I must say... what? is THIS the final version? 8-)

Moral of the story: the beta version worked just fine, this does not.

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Voldemort on 06-25-2006 at 04:12 PM

Well, as most of you dont state plus version, I assume you downloaded from the official site, the latest version, build 235?


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Sephiroth on 06-25-2006 at 04:15 PM

yes voldemort, i download the latest version of msgplus! live in the official site ;)

( I think the others too but I don't really know ^^ )


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Gioyna on 06-25-2006 at 04:22 PM

Yes...i downloaded from the official site.....but it doesn't work!


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Felu on 06-25-2006 at 04:24 PM

I think mostly everone here(in this thread) has the latest build of MP!L.


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by tony on 06-25-2006 at 04:27 PM

All of you who have problems be sure to download the latest Messenger Plus Live! version, which is 4.00.235 plenty of you might still have the 4.00.234.

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Voldemort on 06-25-2006 at 04:30 PM

Well, people, could you try redownloading from the official site and reinstalling?
I was talking with someone, and we think that it may have been possible that many of you got a corrupt version beacause of the server load?

1- redowload from here http://download.msgpluslive.net/setup/MsgPlusLive-400.exe
2- reinstall
3-post results :)

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-25-2006 at 04:32 PM

Toni we are having completly different problems to the one that the 235 build fixed

only 1 person here so far (out of around 30 people so far) has been helped by that build


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Luigi on 06-25-2006 at 04:35 PM

A friend of mine is having the same problem.
Plus! icon and menu are there, and she can open the preference window, but she doesn't see formatted nicknames as she should with plus! installed, neither she can use any /command.
That's strange, it has never happened before.


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Sephiroth on 06-25-2006 at 04:44 PM

I tried to do what you said voldemort .. but the problem is still here :(
From where can the problem come?!! ...

PS: sorry if my english is not exact but I'm french :)


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by sephythedark on 06-25-2006 at 04:47 PM

I think i have cracked this!!!

Anyone who has this problem;

Uninstall EVERYTHING to with Windows Live, MSN and Plus.Also stuff like Smiley central just to be safe .

Then go into Program Files and delete any folders relating to the above programs.

Then reinstall Live Messenger and Live plus. It should work normally.

Once you check that it works, you can reinstall everything else.

Hope this works for you. It was what i done. Please refine the idea if there is any unnecessary uninstalling needed to be done!(Y)

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by szenti on 06-25-2006 at 06:16 PM

i uninstalled plus3, wlm, wlm plus, deleted folders
then installen wlm and plus, and it works! yeehaaa


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Sephiroth on 06-25-2006 at 06:27 PM

I exactly did what you said .. but the problem is still ans still here :(


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Corentin08 on 06-25-2006 at 06:28 PM

GOD BE BLESSED....
Thx all


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by rpsgc on 06-25-2006 at 06:32 PM

OK so I uninstalled MLP, WLM and deleted the folders.
Then I install WLM and MLP.

The commands now work! Right?
But... if I run CleanMessenger it stops working! Now we're getting somewhere :P

I'll test it soon with messpatch...
EDIT: It works... there you have it. YMMV but in my case it was CleanMessenger :)


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Rhalph on 06-25-2006 at 06:36 PM

rpsgc, yes!! I uninstalled, deleted and reinstalled everything, and it worked.
Then I rebooted and launched CleanMessenger, and it stopped working! I think CleanMessenger is the problem...


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by yeno on 06-25-2006 at 06:37 PM

I finally succeeded to solve my problem.

I uninstalled Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus! Live and then installed them back, the problem was caused by CleanMessenger.
When I apply this patch to the conversations windows (disabling Ads), Messenger Plus! Live doesn't work anymore, but I can still disable the main messenger window's ads with CleanMessenger.


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by rpsgc on 06-25-2006 at 06:38 PM

I edited my post.
Just don't use CleanMessenger, use Messpatch instead ;)


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Rhalph on 06-25-2006 at 06:45 PM

Agree with yeno, it works. Waiting for an update of CleanMessenger now ;)


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by xnadx on 06-25-2006 at 06:52 PM

hi, i am having the same problem too :(


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by mrbay on 06-25-2006 at 06:55 PM

THANKS a lot guys, u helped me! Thats the solution..

Uninstall everything! (MSN 7.5, MsgPlus, LIVE MSN, MsgPlus!LIVE)

Than delete EVERY MSN RELATED DIRECTORY from your PROGRAM FILES!

In my case theyre at

code:
C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger
C:\Program Files\Messenger
C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3
C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live



Than reinstall everything, and it should be working!

Once again THANK YOU

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by melei on 06-25-2006 at 07:08 PM

The erasing files thing, works.

I was starting to think the colour nicks issue was realted to de WLM spanish version being uncompatible with MP!L


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by xnadx on 06-25-2006 at 07:17 PM

i tried unistallying everything and reinstalling but it didnt work:(


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Smog on 06-25-2006 at 07:21 PM

During the uninstallation of Plus Live it asks if I want to delete some specific files like the sounds list and things like that.

Do I need to delete my sound list to make the erasing file thing work ?

But....where are the MSN RELATED DIRECTORY on the PROGRAM FILES?????

I can't find them.....
RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Smog on 06-25-2006 at 07:46 PM

MWAHAHAHA I'm so powerful I can answer my own question !!

>>> You don't need to delete your sounds list.

My first try failure was due to the fact that I forgot to delete things like "penguin skin" or "flood messenger".


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Patchou on 06-25-2006 at 08:33 PM

If uninstalling and reinstalling a clean version of Windows Live Messenger doesn't solve your problem, send an email to mplus@patchou.com and I'll work on that with you (make sure you have version 4.00.235 too).


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by rafa_290 on 06-25-2006 at 09:03 PM

Sorry... I'm SPANISH... I don't know what is CLeanMessenger or MessPatch... can you tell me please?


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Reload2 on 06-25-2006 at 09:07 PM

If you don't what it is, it means you never installed them.

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by juan3210 on 06-25-2006 at 11:23 PM

do u think msg discovery x2 can be a problem too?


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by GrimReapersSon on 06-25-2006 at 11:29 PM

Neh don't think so thats a stand alone init..?
aint a plugin or shit?


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by juan3210 on 06-25-2006 at 11:35 PM

so the only program that may interfer is the cleanmessenger?
what program can i use instead of it?


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by tony on 06-25-2006 at 11:41 PM

Juan, you can use Messpatch instead, http://mess.be

OK guys, a friend of mine did this and now the problem is now solved for her.

first of all, Uninstall Completely your Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus Live! versions.

then Reboot your computer and then do a CLEAN install of both, Messenger Plus! Live and Windows Live messenger.

and for Spanish Speakers, i suggest you to go for spanish help at http://es.msgplus.net/foro/ (Official Community)


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by GrimReapersSon on 06-25-2006 at 11:42 PM

cleanmessenger
thats also a stand alone isn't it?

but where a bit offtopic m8.

Edit/ stony tony did that allready :S :(


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by juan3210 on 06-25-2006 at 11:43 PM

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-26-2006 at 02:43 AM

if you go into control pannel and then go to add/remove programs look for msgplus!live and look at the icon.. is it just me or are other people that are having this problem seeing a little red O with a / threw it ?

Patchou could THIS be the problem we are having ??

I have the same problem, yeah in the add/remove programs the icon of MP!L  have a block tag like in messenger, i fixed the problem deleting everything, but when i installed a script (itunes +) the wlm gave me an error then close, i opened the wlm again and the error returned :S  help me please
RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-26-2006 at 03:34 AM

Hmmm... i dont know anything about scripts but sometimes if you install something that happens because a blip happened during install.. uninstall it and try again


i sorted my problem out and i found a thing that helped me on my other comp here is a list of things that you must do to try and fix your MP!L if its not working

OK first
Go into my control panel and then go into add/remove programs and remove EVERYTHING to do with msn even old things
Next go into my computer / local disk (C:) / Program files
and when there delete all folders to do with msn except msn gaming (something like that) even old files
empty recycle bin of the folders (delete them)
and if you use a download manager like freshdownload or DAP go into the bit where you can see all the completed downloads and delete them from the list
then restart computer
after the computer starts up again go to www.msgpluslive.net and then download the Windows live messenger from there and after that get the MP!L aswell

for some reason it works best if you get WLM via the link on the MP!L download page :-)

oh and also if you try delete a file and it says it is in use then make sure you aint running any program that uses it and if you are not then press press ctrl + alt + delete and go to proccesses and end any proccess that are using that file

Patchou could THIS be the problem we are having ??

Just looking now i do have that, that could be the cause.
RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-26-2006 at 08:35 AM

ok anthor... what build of WLM are you using.. if it is not 8.0.0787.00 then get that build

if it is that build of Windows Live Messenger then make sure EVERYTHING is uninstalled and nothing has poped back into your system (because i just opened my computer again and a file came back)

p.s does anyone know how to completly abolish MSN Winks plus from the computer system cause it keeps on coming up even though i have no files for it on my system


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Anthor on 06-26-2006 at 08:42 AM

I have try one thing :
-remove/delete all
-restast
-install wlm and mpl====> works fine
-restart computeur one more time ====> Problems are back



..... :(
:'(

i'm using  8.0.0792... so i will change ^^ and try one more time


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-26-2006 at 08:48 AM

Hmmmm very strange... are you using MPL build 235 or the one that was issued b4 that


[edit]
ok.. i think that may (and this is a very small maybe) be your problem i have heard that happening with a few people on the 792 build that was leaked

I have 792 but if you go to the website and download it then you are downloading 792, so it is official now.
RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-26-2006 at 08:51 AM

like i said it only happens with a few people on the build 792 i didnt say it was happening with everyone :-) (sorry for any misunderstood posts)


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Anthor on 06-26-2006 at 09:04 AM

After the second reboot... all is working

Thx for helping me, I hope that i will never see the probleme again....

:):):):):):):):):):):):):):)


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-26-2006 at 09:11 AM

yeah same here !!! i think patchou will be happy that we found the problem for most of us instead of him trying to make another build lol


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by firey1 on 06-26-2006 at 11:57 AM

I've installed Messenger Live(787 & 792) and MP!L (234 & 235) many times and I still have this problem.

I installed it on 2 PC's with WinXP Home SP2 one worked the other didn't.

Please see picture... http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-12/1119503/msn.JPG

Help Please!!! :(

i sorted my problem out and i found a thing that helped me on my other comp here is a list of things that you must do to try and fix your MP!L if its not working

OK first
Go into my control panel and then go into add/remove programs and remove EVERYTHING to do with msn even old things
Next go into my computer / local disk (C:) / Program files
and when there delete all folders to do with msn except msn gaming (something like that) even old files
empty recycle bin of the folders (delete them)
and if you use a download manager like freshdownload or DAP go into the bit where you can see all the completed downloads and delete them from the list
then restart computer
after the computer starts up again go to www.msgpluslive.net and then download the Windows live messenger from there and after that get the MP!L aswell

for some reason it works best if you get WLM via the link on the MP!L download page :-)

oh and also if you try delete a file and it says it is in use then make sure you aint running any program that uses it and if you are not then press press ctrl + alt + delete and go to proccesses and end any proccess that are using that file



have you tried this because it worked for me post back and say whether it works or if you have tried it

(also if it doesnt work first time try it s econd time cause that sometimes needs to be done too)
RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Anthor on 06-26-2006 at 12:13 PM


Hum.... bad new
It didn't work now.... :'(

What can we do now??


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-26-2006 at 12:17 PM

anthor can you tell me what (if anything) you have installed for MSN in the time you have used it


note this is from before WLM came out


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Anthor on 06-26-2006 at 12:25 PM

I've the same problem...i've tried everything that u've written here...but the problem is still there..

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-26-2006 at 12:37 PM

ok i am going to do some more looking into it and HOPE i have overlooked something


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Anthor on 06-26-2006 at 12:47 PM


I have no soft which can interfer with wlm...
I have remove all ( and Lineage 2 too... i have thinked that the msn function could inetrfer but no...)

IF tehre is no solution, I will kill my computer (6)(6) XD
No... I'm searching for a solution.. but =(


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-26-2006 at 01:08 PM

Okay here is what to do

Follow this path
start on toolbar/control pannel/add remove programs and make sure there is nothing there like smiley central or MSN content plus or an older version of Msgplus! because these may cause conflict with the new version also if you have used the mess patch from www.mess.be go back and redownload it but during the instalation sellect restore my previous settings.

then go threw your WHOLE computer making sure there is absolutly nothing relating to MSN on your system*

if a file says that it is being used then make sure nothing is open and press ctrl + alt + delete and go to processes there will be somthing somewhat like this there marked "msnappm.exe" highlight this and then hit end process and make sure nothing else has MSN at the start of its name in the process list (if so repeat and end process)

now go into the recycle bin and empty it from everything inside

with some of you i am sure you will use a download manager instead of the default windows one so open it and look for any completed downloads to do with MSN or related content and delete these aswell (also be sure to check the folder called completed downloads in my documents with Download accelerator plus users because it keeps another copy of the download in that folder most of the time)

now restart your computer and load everything up as normal
go to webpage www.mess.be and scroll to the bottom and click ">> News Archives" at the very bottom then scroll up to the very top and go into news "The week of June 18 (2006)"

at the top there should be a headline "final Windows Live Messenger" click this and it will take you down to the links for the languages for Windows live messenger so install the language you need
(things marked in "s will be in red on the page)

now come back to www.msgpluslive.net and download the MP!L.exe



*there is one file you cannot delete called MSN Gaming Zone on some computers so do not attempt to alter/delete this file

if this still does not solve your problem then you will have to get in touch with patchou and inform him

best of luck

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by French Jo on 06-26-2006 at 02:48 PM

It sounds great, but at first, what is it due to???

And also, how could I keep my emoticons??? Because the problem is that I have 460 of them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that if I delete all that stuff, all my emoticons will be deleted... By the way, I'd like to say that my friends (for who everything works) have lost ALL their emoticons, without having uninstalled anything !!!

You can use Baisoft MSN/WLM Backuper

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by French Jo on 06-26-2006 at 03:14 PM

Thanks, but the problem is that it only saves ths emoticones I have downloaded (About 20) ; the ones I got while chatting are not saved...

So, what could I do??? You know what it represents 460 gifs??? That's ENORMOUS !!!


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by find_your_spot on 06-26-2006 at 03:42 PM

I can't see the quick emoticons list. In the older versions it shows up if you typed  ''('' than there showed a hole list with all your emoticons. That is something that i really mis now.

Who has this problem allso? With the quick emoticons list

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by gullom on 06-26-2006 at 07:45 PM

I am also experiencing the same problems that have been posted elsewhere.

Just so Patchou knows that someone else is having the same problems I am exeperiencing the following:

-no MP!L tool bar in the chat window, with no toolbar there's no accessability to custom sounds.
-Group Blocking is not available


RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by totalangelic on 06-26-2006 at 07:57 PM

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Panzer Dragoon on 06-27-2006 at 12:21 AM

i dont think you delete things in regedit :P:P because i have not had to
if doing what i have suggested does not work then get in touch with patchou but it should work

oh and for people who want to multi colour there names this is how to do

you can put as many different colours as you want in a name

Because???? 8-)
RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Felu on 06-27-2006 at 09:19 AM

POSSIBLE SOLUTION


  1. Exit messenger.

  2. Go to C:/Program Files/MSN Messenger and delete "riched20.dll" if its there ;).

  3. Restart Messenger.

If this works then-
  • Go to Add/Remove Programs.
  • Remove Web Search (Smile Central)

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by fergofrog on 06-27-2006 at 09:31 AM

RE: Anyone having this problem please post in here by Sertorius on 06-30-2006 at 11:04 AM

I solved the sounds problem on my pc as follows: I changed the "code" for the emoticons I had on MSN in CAPITALS and there are the sounds!!!
